ALS Association Scientific Review Committee
We have set up a rigorous review process to select the best science, no matter where the idea comes from. A panel of independent external experts reviews the applications received through the RFA’s, scores and critiques the applications, provides feedback to applicants to further optimize the projects, and provides recommendations to the Association on which projects to fund.
We would like to thank our global network of experts that dedicate their time and insight to review grant proposals and provide input on funding programs.
