The Radala Foundation aims to combat motor neurone disease (MND)/amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The goal of the foundation is to provide research grants for the study of the understanding of the basic causes of the disease.

As part of this ambition, the Radala Foundation provides grants to principal investigators to pursue potentially ground-breaking, high-risk projects for two years in basic research in MND.

Investigators active in MND research or in broadly related fields are encouraged to submit proposals relevant to MND. Applicants should be leading principal investigators (PIs) with a track-record of significant research achievements in the last ten years.

Research must be conducted in a public or private research organisation. Awards are available worldwide, with no nationality restrictions.

One or two grants of CHF 200,000 will be awarded each year.

Applications should be submitted by the 30 June 2025 deadline.
