From Simon at Science of Parkinson's:
"The Sergey Brain family foundation – which is already a major contributor to Parkinson’s research via donations to major charities – is about to start a MAJOR new project that will have the goal of enhancing our understanding about the basic biology of this neurodegenerative condition and help to identify novel potential therapies.
To say that I am HUGELY excited by the ASAP project would be a gross understatement. I have been looking forward to ASAP kicking off since I first heard about it in 2017. It is an EXTREMELY positive step forward for the Parkinson’s community. And you will be reading a lot more about it here on the SoPD as progress is made on the project.
Starting on the 15th October (2019), there will be an international call for pre-proposals for research funding and a little bird has told me that it is going to be massive! We already know from the point of view piece that ASAP will be awarding up to $9 million per research team over a three year period (understand that that is a transformational amount of money for the vast majority of research labs, and it would allow some scientists to test some extremely ambitious ideas – click here to read more about the funding).
Very exciting stuff for the Parkinson’s research community."
