Our mission is to accelerate the discovery of a treatment and a cure for ALS by using powerful incentives to attract new people and new ideas and to leverage existing efforts and expertise in the ALS field.</p> <p><strong>As an organization dedicated to realizing a world without ALS, Prize4Life values:</strong></p> <p><strong>Results: </strong>Prize4Life is an innovative "results-based" not-for-profit organization. Effective treatments and a cure for ALS are the organization's most highly prized results. Along the way, we reward outcomes regardless of the scientific discipline from which they originated. The pursuit of tangible results informs and motivates everything we do.<strong></strong></p> <p><strong>Creative Innovation: </strong>We know that the solutions to some of the biggest challenges in ALS research will require out-of-the-box thinking, and some of the most critical discoveries may come from unlikely places. We encourage and reward creative approaches that will yield real results for ALS patients. </p> <p><strong>Global ALS Collaboration: </strong>ALS observes no geographic boundaries and neither do we. Prize4Life values the sharing of ideas, information, and knowledge among a wide variety of research sectors around the globe as well as within the organization itself. Prize4Life is committed to facilitating collaboration as an effective means to the fulfillment of its mission. We seek opportunities to partner with those best positioned to help us create a world without ALS, no matter where in the world these individuals and organizations may be.</p> <p><strong>Efficiency/Leverage: </strong>ALS patients demand a cure today, and we aim to help find it for them. We are committed to working quickly without waste of time or resources. We identify, and partner to develop, the necessary missing tools/resources/projects that will transform the ALS drug development landscape. We proactively seek to learn what other ALS related organizations are engaged in so that we do not duplicate efforts/create redundancies and so that we can leverage off these efforts and we do not duplicate efforts/create redundancies. With every dollar that we invest, we seek to encourage the investment of others, and we aim to amplify the impact of the investments being made by others to develop new treatments and a cure for ALS.</p></span> <!-- stopprint --> </span></td> </tr> </table>
