From the website: The PD Online Research community will work to build a sophisticated and continuously updated knowledgebase of Parkinson's disease, and to actively guide research funding and investment through interaction with funders and financial investors. AND While PDOnline Research is available as a resource to everyone, participation in the online discussion is limited to health care professionals and those professionally involved in the execution or funding of scientific research.

It sounds to me as if this is another way to get the people with money to invest in research together with the research that needs investors. Parkinson's disease research.

I'll just say thanks.
