Of this years total, over $16.54 million will be committed to vital MND research projects identified through FightMND’s competitive grant round.
Twenty-three exciting new projects will be supported including one clinical trial, seven drug development projects and four projects that will focus on identifying the cause/s of MND. Seven innovative projects will tackle some of the biggest hurdles in MND, such as the delay in diagnosis.
