Diane and I both got this notice: Success for Parkinson's Research Funding!Take Action! Parkinson's Community Wins Department of Defense Research Funding CONGRATULATIONS! The Department of Defense's (DoD) Parkinson's research program -- the Neurotoxin Exposure Treatment Research Program (NETRP) which was created to investigate the causes, diagnosis, and treatments of Parkinson's disease -- has received $26.5 million for next year. This funding level is a $3.5 million increase from last year. The funding has passed both the House and Senate in the spending bill for the Department of Defense. President Bush is expected to sign the bill soon. We are delighted that this important program, thanks to your efforts, received an increase in funding. This is a huge victory and could not have been accomplished without your hard work! For a list of the senators and representatives who signed the Dear Colleague letter, or for more information about NETRP, please visit the PAN website at http://www.parkinsonsaction.org. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
