Collaboration With Alzforum
Prize4Life has worked closely with the Alzheimer Research Forum (Alzforum), a web-based resource for Alzheimer's disease researchers, to build a similar tool for ALS researchers. Alzforum is an online tool for communication and collaboration that is now used by nearly 50% of Alzheimer’s disease researchers worldwide. This research portal provides a number of comprehensive research resources, up-to-date reports on the latest and most important research findings, and opportunities for researchers to discuss and collaborate. Prize4Life and Alzforum have worked together to hire a Science Writer who covers the latest news in ALS research. Since the start of this collaboration, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of ALS-related stories featured on the Alzforum website. In April 2009, Prize4Life began work on www.ResearchALS.org, a web-based portal that will allow easy access to all ALS-related resources currently available on the Alzforum.
