Uncovering the roots of Parkinson's disease, together
A global research initiative
Aligning Science Across Parkinson’s (ASAP) is fostering collaboration and resources to better understand the underlying causes of Parkinson’s disease. With scale, transparency, and open access data sharing, we believe we can accelerate the pace of discovery, and inform the path to a cure.
ASAP is now accepting Letters of Intent for the Collaborative Research Network 2025 Scientific Track. This new call is centered around dissecting the mechanisms that can contribute to Parkinson’s disease (PD) heterogeneity. Awarded teams will receive funding of up to $3 million per year for three years.
As we wrap up 2024, we are excited to share how we pushed the Parkinson’s disease research field forward. Together, our supported programs worked to funnel new ideas into Parkinson’s disease R&D, facilitate the rapid exchange of ideas, ensure researchers can build upon ASAP-funded work, and establish a diverse pipeline for the next generation of researchers.
GP2 announced the 9th data release on the Terra and the Verily® Workbench platforms in collaboration with AMP® PD. This release includes 17,690 additional genotyped participants.
