I suggest you contact Mike Claes at PAN. They had various scientists look at the list of funded grants for 97 that NIH says are related to PD; this group had the abstracts for the grants on which to base a judgement as to relevance. I believe that only about a third were judged to be 'focused' on PD, with another 27% 'related' and almost 40% unrelated. On another topic, our president and CEO, Dr. Bill Langston was interviewed for the television show 48 Hours, which is preparing a whole hour on aging scheduled to be aired on Thursday, November 12. The topic started out to be stem cell research, but they ended up talking to three of our patients as well.

I am curious if anybody knows what that "related research" is. Does anybody have a list of Titles of grant applications which the NIH claims to be part of the Parkinsons Program? Is it basic research on neural function? What is it? Thanks, KFE (Cg Carline)
