Meetings and Consortia
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. Beginning in 2022, MJFF has merged its separate consortia calls into a single series called the Parkinson’s Disease Research Exchange (PDRx). The PDRx will serve as a global network of scientists from academic labs, pharma/biotech companies and CROs and will include investigators focusing on preclinical and/or clinical efforts.
