PS...anyone can go to our site
www.michaeljfox.org and search by keyword to see all our grants funded (historic and current)...we have funded nearly $200 million in research on over 100 targets so there is information there on many topics. We are currently working to improve how we report outcomes on all these grants as well. (Worry not, we know the outcomes of all the grants funded its just not in a public database. But, rest assured if we see something that is working we keep funding it!) We want to find better ways to share mixed and negative results as well.
