The Human Biology Project was launched in 2013 with the goal of fostering innovative research in collaboration with HD clinics to better understand the biology of Huntington's disease as it occurs in humans. HDSA encourages researchers to consider one of HDSA's Centers of Excellence as a potential collaborator, but applicants may propose to work with any HD clinic around the world. One to two years of funding will be awarded to a scientist working collaboratively with an HD clinic anywhere in the world. The recipient must commit at least 50 percent effort to the project. Preference is given to young postdoctoral and clinical investigators (PhD and/or MDs) who are not yet independent. Innovative ideas from non-scientists will also be accepted and encouraged. Applications from for-profit institutions are welcome. The proposals must involve the use of HD patients, patient data and samples or human HD model systems to maximize the impact on the execution of future clinical trials and/or drug discovery programs for HD. The research proposals should involve a collaboration with investigators/clinicians at a reputable HD clinic anywhere around the world. Applicants may propose to work with any HD clinic they desire. We encourage applicants to consider the HDSA Centers of Excellence as a potential collaborator for their research. The full application requires administrative information, a signature from the applicant and their organization acknowledging the terms and conditions of this award, biographical sketches and a list of other funding (can be NIH-style) for the applicant, mentor, and other key personnel listed in the budget, a scientific abstract, lay description, and research proposal, 1-3 letters of reference from mentors or clinical collaborators, and institutional approvals for any human or animal work. The letter of intent is due on May 5, 2023 and the complete application is due on July 7, 2023.
