 The David J. Tomassoni Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Research Grant Program has opened its grant application period and is currently accepting proposals to accelerate ALS research.
Named after the late Minnesota Senator, the David J. Tomassoni ALS Research Grant was instated to provide funding for translational research that leads to the prevention, functional improvement, and curative efforts for people with ALS. Tomassoni was diagnosed with ALS in 2021 and passionately advocated for research into the rare disease. In his final term as a Senator, he successfully authored and passed the legislation that provided $25 million in one-time funding to support ALS research and caregiver resources.
In consultation with the Minnesota Department of Health and the ALS Association, OHE is accepting proposals to accelerate research into ALS knowledge, prevention, and treatment. Eligible grant applicants must be lead institutions/organizations located within Minnesota and fall into one or more of the following categories: research facilities, universities, and health care systems located in Minnesota.
