Parkinson’s Foundation and CurePSP Announce Partnership for Launch of Special Programming for Healthcare Professionals

The Parkinson’s Foundation announced the launch of a partnership with CurePSP on the development of a multi-part educational program geared towards healthcare professionals. The program focuses on “atypical Parkinsonian syndromes,” including: progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), corticobasal degeneration (CBD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA).

Introducing Our Facebook Discussion Group!

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our first-ever Facebook discussion group for individuals affected by progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) or corticobasal degeneration/syndrome (CBD/CBS). Whether you are someone diagnosed, a partner, a family member or a friend, this group is for you! It’s a space to connect with others on a similar journey, access valuable resources and share questions and insights in a safe, moderated environment. Join us and be part of a supportive network where we make the journey together.

CurePSP Pathway and Pipeline Grants

Upcoming Pathway and Pipeline Grant deadlines will be in October 2023 and April 2024. CurePSP provides seed funding to investigators who have innovative ideas that need proof of concept or pilot studies in order to qualify for larger funding sources. CurePSP will fund studies on PSP and CBD with a particular interest in (i) fundamental neurobiology and mechanisms of PSP and CBD and (ii) translational projects focusing on new therapeutics and biomarkers for PSP and CBD.

Ask the Expert: Hope in Action — Your Role in Moving Advocacy Forward (webinar)
May 8 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm

The National Plan to End Parkinson’s Act is bipartisan legislation that will, for the first time, unite the federal government in a mission to prevent and cure Parkinson’s disease and other Parkinsonisms, including progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal degeneration, multiple system atrophy and Parkinson’s-related dementia. During his presentation, Mason will highlight how CurePSP and the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research collaborate through the Unified Parkinson’s Advocacy Council to pass this legislation and how you can get involved.
