In 2017, many new research discoveries and collaborations accelerated the momentum toward finding treatments and a cure for ALS. We helped lead the way by awarding several new grants to top scientists and clinicians. We currently fund over 126 projects in eight countries, furthering the best ALS research in the world.

Here are just a few of the biggest advances in ALS research this past year that give us hope! All projects were funded by The ALS Association.
