All legislative, regulatory and other policy proposals must be measured against the mission of The ALS Association: to discover treatments and a cure for ALS, and to serve, advocate for and empower people affected by ALS to live their lives to the fullest. Our advocacy guiding principles ground our public policy priorities. Learn more.
The ALS Association proudly partners with the American Academy of Neurology to support promising young clinician scientists through annual fellowship awards, like the Clinical Research Training Fellowship and the Clinician-Scientist Development Award.
