For more than 30 years, the ALS Canada Research Program has been supporting Canadian researchers through foundational grants, investing in early-stage ideas. These initial investments often laid the groundwork for follow-up funding, enabling promising projects to scale and evolve into impactful, long-term research efforts.
We’re pleased to share that five researchers who previously received ALS Canada funding have now been awarded follow-up grants from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) — Canada’s federal agency for health and medical research. These CIHR grants total an incredible investment of $5,867,552.
ALS Canada extends our heartfelt congratulations to these researchers. It’s encouraging to see CIHR investing in fundamental ALS research, and we remain hopeful about the progress these experts will make in deepening our understanding of ALS and advancing potential treatments.
