How does the CJD Foundation fund research?
The CJD Foundation awards research grants and fellowships. Its 2026 announcement, dated 28 January 2026, named ten new awards, eight grants and two fellowships, ranked by a Scientific Advisory Committee. The Foundation states that the awards are funded by donations, by fundraising through Strides for CJD and by memorial grants from families affected by prion disease.
The 2024 recipients worked on these topics:
- an ADAM8-based gene therapy, at Case Western Reserve University
- a tear fluid diagnostic test, in Gottingen, Germany
- a small brain-penetrant molecule that lowers PrP, at the University of Toronto
- the way prions first appear in mouse models, at the University of Toronto
- brain organoids made from donors with sporadic CJD, at Rocky Mountain Laboratories
- a protein-based gene therapy, at CIC bioGUNE in Spain
- GPNMB as a possible drug target, at the University of Zurich
