The Foundation targets underfunded, high-risk, "translational" research—the work of translating basic scientific discoveries into practical treatments with potential to benefit the estimated five million people living with Parkinson's today. The Foundation's research team, drawn from the worlds of both science and business, proactively manages the largest PD research portfolio in the world, prioritizing the most promising ideas and key studies to ensure that they continue on a strategic course forward.

Famous quotes containing the words research and/or priorities:
“The research on gender and morality shows that women and men looked at the world through very different moral frameworks. Men tend to think in terms of “justice” or absolute “right and wrong,” while women define morality through the filter of how relationships will be affected. Given these basic differences, why would men and women suddenly agree about disciplining children?”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
“Work though we must, our jobs do not automatically determine our priorities concerning our marriages, our children, our social life, or even our health. It’s still life, constrained as it may be by limited disposable income or leisure time, and we’re still responsible for making it something we enjoy or endure.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
