Summary
Summary: The fiscal year 2026 (FY26) Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Research Program (ALSRP) Clinical Outcomes and Biomarkers Award (COBA) supports the development and/or validation of clinical outcomes and biomarkers to enrich clinical trials in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Projects can be relevant to a specific therapy, a class of therapeutics, or to a specific ALS subtype (such as a particular genetic mutation) and do not have to broadly apply to all patients.
Distinctive Features: To meet the intent of the funding opportunity, applications may address clinical biomarkers and/or clinical outcomes. This may include the identification, development, and/or validation of promising biomarkers for ALS, which may include, but are not limited to susceptibility/risk, diagnostic, monitoring/disease progression, prognostic, predictive, response, or safety biomarkers. Clinical Outcomes projects may focus on the identification, development, and/or validation of clinician-, observer-, or patient-reported, and/or performance outcome measures for ALS. Projects may include the optimization of current outcome measures already in use.
Applications may utilize digital health measures…
