AFTD Pilot Grant

Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration

AFTD Pilot Grants provide seed funding for novel research in the initial phase of research program development. Pilot Grants aid recipients in generating data that will be the basis for follow-on funding applications to government funders or other public or private agencies.

Well-Being in FTD Pilot Grants – These grants support research to improve the well-being of persons diagnosed, families, and caregivers and to improve access to high-quality diagnosis, care, support, and research participation options. This Pilot Grant category is open to early-career as well as more senior researchers, with preference for applicants that are either early-career and/or embarking on new career directions. You can view the current RFP by clicking the red text above.

Note : AFTD’s previous “Pathways for Hope” Pilot Grant program, funding basic research in FTD, is no longer being offered. AFTD is restructuring our pilot grant portfolio to have a more translational focus, and will alert the research community when a replacement funding opportunity is available.

Deadline: Nov. 17, 2025

Eligibility Requirements

All applicants:

Must have a faculty appointment or an equivalent position at a nonprofit/academic research institution.
U.S. and international researchers.
Postdoctoral fellows cannot be Pilot Grant PIs unless they can confirm a faculty appointment beginning by the start of the funding period in April 2026.
Fellows are encouraged to review AFTD’s Holloway Postdoctoral Fellowship or the Clinical Research Training Scholarship AFTD supports in partnership with the American Brain Foundation and the American Academy of Neurology.

Well-Being in FTD Pilot Grants:

Investigators at all career stages are eligible; however, early-career investigators are especially encouraged to apply. These grants are meant to support new ideas or programs – applicants with existing substantial funding in the area of proposed work will likely not be competitive.
Collaborations between senior and early-career investigators are also welcomed.
