The Foundation is an experienced collaborator with biotechnology, pharmaceutical and health tech companies seeking to advance Parkinson's programs.
Collaborate with Us
The Michael J. Fox Foundation (MJFF) and industry collaborators frequently work together to move us closer to new treatments and a better quality of life for people living with Parkinson’s. MJFF provides a range of resources available to industry at no cost for research that is aligned with our scientific priorities. We also offers diverse collaboration models: financial, in-kind and non-financial.
Whether your company is emerging or established, if you share our goal of helping Parkinson's patients through research, we want to hear from you. You can review our Resources for Parkinson's Researchers or contact researchpartnerships@michaeljfox.org to discuss the full range of partnering options with our staff.
Path to Prevention Platform Trial
Our landmark PPMI study is primed to advance innovative trial design for Parkinson’s prevention. Study leaders are beginning discussions with potential partners on opportunities and requirements for a prevention platform trial.
