Research Grant, 2026Parkinson’s Clinical Cohorts Collaborative (PC3)
Study Rationale:
Effective treatments for the symptoms of Parkinson’s exist, but none slow its progression. Inability to measure or predict future progression are major obstacles to...
-
Research Grant, 2026Parallelized Digital Seed Amplification Assay for PD Biomarker Development
Study Rationale:
The amplification of small quantities of misfolded protein aggregates from clinical samples offers an attractive route towards developing sensitive diagnostics for a...
-
Research Grant, 2025Dynamic Microsimulation of Parkinson’s Disease: Evaluating Lifecourse Impacts of Disease Modifying Therapies (VALUE-PD)
Study Rationale: As new treatments for Parkinson's disease (PD) are developed, it is important to understand how they might affect the health and finances of people with PD, their families, and...
-
De-risking Therapeutic Development for OGA
Summary of Target and Rationale for Funding: O-GlcNAcase (OGA) is the enzyme responsible for removing O-GlcNAc, a noncanonical glycosylation post-translational modification, from proteins. A...
-
ASAP CRN 2025 RFA Scientific Track, 2026Connecting the Environmental Exposome to PD Risk and Disease Pathology
Study Rationale:
We now know that many cases of Parkinson’s disease are caused by exposure to harmful chemicals and pesticides in the environment. However, it is paradoxical...
-
ASAP CRN 2025 RFA Scientific Track, 2026Investigating the Role of Immune Cell Exhaustion (ICE) and Biological Immune Aging (BIA) in PD Risk and PD Heterogeneity
Study Rationale:
Parkinson’s disease (PD) affects people in very different ways. This project will study the biological reasons that may explain this variability. In particular, it will focus on how...
