Neurology
While Cures Within Reach is disease-agnostic, we are dedicated to improving the quality and length of life for patients living with a neurological disease (mental health, neurodegenerative or pain) through the speed and cost-effectiveness of medical repurposing.
Our events and research within the Neurology Repurposing Community all focus on connecting our many stakeholder groups together in our shared goal: driving more treatments to more patients more quickly through repurposing.
Funding Opportunity RFPs for Neurology:
- ReGRoW: Funding for Underresourced Researchers in Low and Lower-Middle Income Countries 2025: accepting budgets of up to $65,000 for clinical repurposing trials in any disease led by an underresourced researcher in any LMIC, as defined by the World Bank. SUBMISSIONS DUE MARCH 28, 2025.
More information on our Funding Opportunities / RFPs page.
