ALS Association (RRID:SCR_000442) | ALS Association | nonprofit organization | Established in 1985, The ALS Association is the only national non-profit organization fighting Lou Gehrig's Disease on every front. By leading the way in global research, providing assistance for people with ALS through a nationwide network of chapters, coordinating multidisciplinary care through certified clinical care centers, and fostering government partnerships, The Association builds hope and enhances quality of life while aggressively searching for new treatments and a cure. As the preeminent ALS organization, The Association leads the way in research, care services, public education, and public policy giving help and hope to those facing the disease. The Association's nationwide network of chapters provides comprehensive patient services and support to the ALS community. The mission of The ALS Association is to lead the fight to treat and cure ALS through global research and nationwide advocacy, while also empowering people with Lou Gehrig's Disease and their families to live fuller lives by providing them with compassionate care and support. The ALS Association has committed more than $58 million to find effective treatments and a cure for Lou Gehrig's Disease. Our global research effort has helped increase the number of scientists working on ALS, advanced new discoveries and treatments, and has shed light on the complex genetic and environmental factors involved in ALS. Diversity exemplifies The ALS Association's research philosophy. The Association spearheads investigator-initiated projects that originate from the minds of scientists. It also has ALS Association-initiated projects in which research ideas come from a small, blue ribbon committee of scientists who reach out with specific projects for designated scientists in the field. The ALS Association offers multi-year grants to established investigators, as well as one-year starter research awards. The Association is proud to administer The Milton Safenowitz Post-Doctoral Fellowship for ALS Research, which is the only post-doctoral fellowship for ALS research. In addition, The ALS Association's Sheila Essey Award, the premier ALS award, recognizes achievement in research. The ALS Association holds workshops each year that bring together scientists researching ALS and other neurodegenerative diseases to generate new research suggestions and fresh insight. In addition, our TREAT ALS (Transitional Research Advancing Therapy for ALS) initiative combines efficient new drug discovery with priorities set for existing drug candidates to accelerate clinical testing of compounds with promise for the disease. Our Clinical Management Research Program focuses on managing the care of people with ALS in such areas as nutrition, respiration, mobility and psychosocial needs. Since 1998, The Association has funded 21 clinical management research projects representing a total commitment of $750,000. The Association produces a series of manuals and videos as well as a DVD, called Living with ALS, that educate patients about all aspects of the disease. | research, clinical care center, treatment, cure, care service, public education, public policy, post-doctoral fellowship, clinical, grant, award | Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis | nif-0000-00449, Wikidata: Q4652439, grid.430438.8, ISNI: 0000 0004 0590 7963, Crossref funder ID: 100000971 | https://ror.org/00mwp5989 | SCR_000442 | Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Association, ALS Association - Fighting Lou Gehrig's Disease, ALS Association | 2026-08-01 12:01:17 | 11 | |||||||

Gatsby Charitable Foundation Resource Report Resource Website 10+ mentions |
Gatsby Charitable Foundation (RRID:SCR_000618) | Gatsby | institution | Gatsby is a Foundation set up by David Sainsbury to realize his charitable objectives. Gatsby works in areas that David Sainsbury and the Trustees are particularly passionate about and where they believe charitable funding can make a real difference. Gatsby is currently active in six tightly-focused areas: * Plant science research * Neuroscience research * Science and engineering education * Economic development in Africa * Public policy research and advice * The Arts We have also supported significant programs in mental health - in particular through the founding of the Centre for Mental Health - although we are no longer focusing on this area. Across all areas, we aim to be more than a funder. We act as an enabler for projects, designing, developing, overseeing and, in some cases, delivering activities. We are proactive in putting together projects to achieve our aims. Rather than wait for third-party proposals, we identify areas of need, commission research and design interventions in partnership with sector and industry experts. We take a long-term view as we do not think much can be achieved by short, one-off projects. We build long relationships with the organizations we support, allowing both them and us to learn from successes and failures and to develop sustainable change. We are particularly enthusiastic about supporting innovation. David Sainsbury has long believed that private foundations have an important role to play in testing imaginative models and new ideas that governments may see as too risky for public funding, even when they have significant potential to benefit the public if they succeed. Gatsby can incubate such models, giving them the support they need to prove themselves and build the track-records that will encourage others to scale them up. We will continue to support and undertake both large- and small-scale work, employing different methods and models depending on the different challenges, but always ultimately looking to deliver long-term, sustainable change.

Brain Trauma Foundation Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
Brain Trauma Foundation (RRID:SCR_000108) | BTF | organization | The Brain Trauma Foundation (BTF) is a national non-profit organization dedicated to improving the outcome of traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients worldwide by developing best practices guidelines, quality improvement programs, conducting clinical research, and educating medical professionals and consumers. Our efforts also focus on public education aimed at increasing awareness and understanding of the symptoms of a concussion. Our goal is to better educate coaches, nurses, athletes, parents and all citizens about the importance of recognizing concussions and taking the appropriate steps to ensure people receive appropriate care. Also by educating healthcare professionals on the immediate care for coma patients, we estimate that thousands of lives could be saved each year in the U.S., millions worldwide, and more would be spared life-long disabilities. Research has proven that all brain damage does not occur at the moment of impact but rather evolves over the ensuing hours and days after the initial injury, due to brain swelling and inadequate oxygen and blood flow to the injured brain. In most cases, this secondary damage can be controlled by applying scientific, evidence-based diagnostic and treatment Guidelines, which BTF has developed with medical organizations and physicians with expertise in TBI. BTF offers updated continuing education activities for all levels of health care professionals caring for TBI patients. The online activities include recorded presentations, live web-based lectures, and interactive learning modules based on the latest scientific-evidence. Also available on the BTF Learning Portal is an online version of the EMS course developed in coordination with National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The Brain Trauma Foundation leads the way in cutting-edge clinical research on Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Improving diagnosis and treatment of TBI requires a focus on clinical research. Our mission is to improve the outcome of TBI patients worldwide. BTF's research spans the spectrum from concussion to coma. BTF is conducting innovative research into the cause diagnosis of concussion. Also, BTF develops Best TBI Practice Guidelines, which when followed can significantly improve a patient's outcome. The Foundation is currently conducting studies and leading consortiums of investigators from multiple universities and disciplines in many TBI research areas that will have immediate impact on patient outcomes. | traumatic brain injury, coma, concussion, diagnostics, best practices, research, one mind tbi | ISNI: 0000 0001 2172 2553, grid.417506.1, nlx_143730, Wikidata: Q4955793 | https://ror.org/02gxtdy09 | SCR_000108 | 2026-08-01 12:01:09 | 1 | |||||||||

Terry Fox Foundation Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
Terry Fox Foundation (RRID:SCR_005873) | TFF | institution | The Terry Fox Foundation is responsible for supporting close to $20 million in discovery based research each year in Canada - all monies raised outside Canada must be distributed to (a) an institute approved by the Foundation and its advisors or (b) remitted to Canada. The Terry Fox Research Institute (TFRI) is a recipient of TFF funding for translational research. TFRI is an exciting new initiative whose goal is to translate rapidly today''s best science into better cancer treatment and diagnosis for all Canadians. The Institute will bring scientists and clinicians together across the country into a functionally integrated, geographically dispersed Institute with nodes in several provinces. Terry Fox was diagnosed with osteogenic sarcoma (bone cancer) in his right leg in 1977 and had his leg amputated 15 cm (six inches) above the knee. While in hospital, Terry was so overcome by the suffering of other cancer patients that he decided to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research. He called his journey the Marathon of Hope. Terry''s Marathon of Hope took place in 1980 with the simple objective of informing Canadians of the importance of finding a cure for cancer. With fierce determination, he ran an average of 42 kilometres (26 miles) every day for 143 days. Terry was forced to end his run on September 1, 1980 when the cancer spread to his lungs. By February 1, 1981, Terry''s dream of raising $1 for every Canadian was realized - the Terry Fox Marathon of Hope fund totaled $24.17 million. Terry died in June 1981. On May 26, 1988, The Terry Fox Run became a Trust, independent from the Canadian Cancer Society, and received tax-exempt charitable registration as a public foundation. In addition to our signature and long-standing National Terry Fox Run Day in September of each year, The Terry Fox Foundation is proud to include in its events portfolio The National School Run Day. The Foundation recognizes the duality of its mandate. Not only does it raise money for research, but it also continues to share the story of Terry Fox. The Terry Fox Foundation strives to maintain the heroic effort and integrity that Terry embodied. It is a grassroots organization that does not allow the Terry Fox name or likeness to be commercialized or conjoined with other worthy causes. To date, over $600 million has been raised worldwide for cancer research in Terry''s name. | research, cancer | is parent organization of: Terry Fox Research Institute | Cancer | ISNI: 0000 0004 5907 4557, Crossref funder ID: 501100002655, nlx_149429, grid.453650.1 | https://ror.org/05vd00053 | SCR_005873 | 2026-08-01 12:03:00 | 5 | |||||||
