Our Foundation frequently organizes consortia of grantees and other experts working in similar areas to share methods and findings, identify challenges to progress, and propose resources and initiatives to overcome those hurdles. Foundation consortia are focused around various topics, such as priority targets (e.g., parkin or GBA) and resources (e.g., pre-clinical tools, patient education). Our consortia are open to open to academia, industry groups and CROs and facilitates resource and data sharing through discussions and collaborations.
