NINDS Exploratory Grant Program in Parkinson's Disease Research (P20): Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic, progressive movement disorder that affects at least half a million people in the United States, as well as having significant impact on the relatives and friends who care for them. The average age of onset is during the sixth decade, although earlier onset is also possible, and the incidence of PD is expected to increase as the population ages. While significant research advances continue, the full complexity of PD etiology is not yet evident. Moreover, currently available treatments are primarily symptomatic, and neither slow nor halt disease progression. Challenges posed by the inherent complexity of PD are often best addressed by multidisciplinary research teams working in tandem to surmount obstacles and seize opportunities to advance knowledge and improve treatment. However, development of an effective team, identification of an optimal strategy and collection of preliminary data to address a particular challenge in PD research require dedicated time and resources.Therefore, this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits Exploratory Grant (P20) applications proposing planning and initiation of synergistic research activities to advance Parkinson's Disease (PD) research and treatment. The goal of this program is to formalize collaborative structures and establish a foundation of research discovery necessary to address emergent issues in PD research. Successful exploratory studies should lead to a subsequent application for support of a collaborative, multidisciplinary NINDS Morris K. Udall Center of Excellence (P50). To foster the development of innovative research collaborations, this FOA will provide support for new projects, not continuation of projects that have already been initiated.
