Grant Proposal Development: Write compelling grant proposals, including project narratives, budgets and justifications, biosketches, and letters of support.

Fund Management & Compliance: Maintain oversight of grant progress reports and ensure compliance with funder requirements.

Scientific Writing & Publications: Draft and edit high-quality scientific manuscripts for submission to peer-reviewed journals, respond to peer reviewer feedback, and revise manuscripts accordingly.

We’re founded by a patient and caregiver, and we’re a remote-first company. This means our values are at the heart of everything we do, and while we’re located all across the country, these principles are what tie us together around a common identity:

Embody the spirit and humanity of those living with neurodegenerative disease. Inspired by our founders, families, and personal experiences, we recognize the seriousness of our patients’ circumstances and meet that challenge every day with empathy, compassion, kindness, joy, and most importantly – with hope.

Seek to understand, and stay curious. We start by listening to one another, our partners, our patients, and their caregivers. We communicate with authenticity and humility, prioritizing honesty and directness while recognizing we always have something to learn.

Embrace the opportunity. We are energized by the importance of our mission and bias toward action.
