Our landmark Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative is recruiting new volunteers. Nearly 50 sites in 12 countries will enroll 4,000 participants.
If you have been diagnosed with Parkinson's in the past two years, please reach out to a site near you to learn more. Sites also are recruiting control volunteers without a history of brain disease. PPMI covers travel cost for potential participants and a loved one.
The study is also enrolling people who may be at risk for Parkinson's disease. If you have a parent, sister or brother, or child with Parkinson's disease, you may be eligible. Take a short survey at michaeljfox.org/ppmisurvey.
Learn more about PPMI at michaeljfox.org/ppmi. This page will update as new sites start recruiting new participants.
