Neurotrophic Factor Therapies for Parkinson's Disease
Projects appropriate for this program should advance neurotrophic factor approaches to treating PD through preclinical research toward the clinic or through the stages of clinical development. Investigators are encouraged to apply a coordinated cross-disciplinary approach toward proposed research projects.
Programs Under Review
- Biomarkers 2009
- Clinicopathological Correlations of Parkinson’s Disease 2009
- Postural Instability and Gait Disturbances 2009
- Understanding LRRK2 Biology 2009
For more information on how we allocate funds to benefit people living with PD, see The MJFF Funding Philosophy. To read about grants previously awarded under any of these programs, use our Searchable Database of Funded Grants. Our driving goal is to fund the right science at the right time to advance progress toward improved PD treatments. If, after reading through the materials available here and elsewhere on our site, you are unsure of which program would best fit your project, please contact our Scientific Staff.
