History & Mission
Historically, ALS research was conducted by committed ALS researchers working separately on various aspects of the disease.
Project A.L.S.™ changed that approach dramatically by requiring that researchers and doctors from many disciplines work together, share data openly, and meet shared research milestones.
Project A.L.S.™ actively recruits researchers, much as competitive sports teams recruit the best athletes. Project A.L.S.™ has built dream teams in four main areas: Basic Research, Genetics, Stem Cells, and Drug Screening.
Project A.L.S.™ research is funded on a rolling basis and is vetted by the Project A.L.S.™ research advisory board.
Our Strategy
The overall strategy is to raise significant funds and direct the majority of the funds raised to the collaborative efforts of world leading scientists.
Project A.L.S.™ relies on fundraising and support from an ever growing network of donors: corporate, foundation,and individuals.
Ours is a strategy of family: the larger the Project A.L.S.™ family, which includes donors, patients, loved ones, researchers, staff, doctors, and concerned citizens, the faster we’ll make progress in the war on ALS.
The dead-tree version of the magazine article in InStyle quoted Julianna Margulies saying that "Four years ago, Project ALS launched the world's first privately-funded stem-cell research lab in New York City. When you see the lab rats with ALS actually getting better-thanks to our researchers' work- you realize this search is not in vain. It's not about politics. It's about life."

Juliana says: "My friend Jenifer Estess, a theater producer, was diagnosed with the neurodegenerative disease ALS when she was 35. Jenifer and her sisters began Project A.L.S. in order to help further the cause of stem-cell research, and I believe it's vital to finding a cure. So far we've had great success."
