- Sample acknowledgement language: This research was funded in whole or in part [Grant number] by the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research (MJFF). For the purpose of open access, the author has applied for a CC BY [replace with CC0, CC BY-ND if appropriate] public copyright license to all Author Accepted manuscripts arising from this submission.
