TREAT ALS Builds on Concrete Research Progress by The ALS Association

The ALS Association (ALSA) is committed to funding a diverse portfolio of research. A willingness to take risks brings researchers down new avenues. Some may prove to be dead ends. But all the routes to discovery explored in the past decade have produced evident progress in our understanding of the disease, progress that deserves to be brought rapidly into the clinic.
