Prevention Grants

Prevention Grants is sponsored by The ALS Association. Supports efforts to prevent or delay ALS-related harms, impacting clinical care within 5–7 years.

Prevention Grants by ALS Association 2026 | Atom Grants Funds translational research to understand, predict, and prevent ALS, emphasizing interventions and tools to stop the disease before symptoms appear. This grant is no longer accepting proposals ALS Association has archived this opportunity.

Due Dates (Anticipated): August 2026 (Letter of Intent) | October 2026 (Full proposal, by invitation) Funding Amounts: Up to $400,000 total over 2 years (inclusive of direct and indirect costs; max 10% indirect) Summary: Supports translational research to understand, predict, and prevent ALS, with emphasis on interventions before symptom onset.

Key Information: This is a forecasted opportunity; all dates are projected and subject to confirmation. The ALS Association's Prevention Grants program funds research aimed at preventing or delaying the onset of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The focus is on advancing translational science, developing interventions, and creating tools that can move the field toward actionable strategies for risk reduction and prevention.

Projects should emphasize validation and translation—rather than basic discovery—with the goal of achieving clinical impact by 2030. The scope includes understanding ALS causes and risk factors, developing predictive tools, and creating interventions to prevent the disease before symptoms appear. See the full grant listing
