Research Community

The Aligning Science Across Parkinson’s (ASAP) initiative fosters collaboration, generates research-enabling resources, and promotes data sharing to accelerate discovery around the world, within and outside the existing Parkinson’s disease community. We currently support three programs, all with the goal of advancing research for the benefit of the entire Parkinson’s disease community.

Our Supported Programs

Collaborative Research Network
Collaborative Research Network

The ASAP Collaborative Research Network (CRN) is an international, multidisciplinary, and multi-institutional network of collaborating investigators who are working to address high-priority research questions to spark new discoveries for Parkinson’s disease. Each CRN team supports productive collaborations, includes diverse talents, and embraces the values of openness and transparency to accelerate outcomes and the impact of findings.

Global Parkinson's Genetics Program
Global Parkinson's Genetics Program

The Global Parkinson’s Genetics Program (GP2) is an ambitious resource program to understand the genetic architecture of Parkinson’s disease through genotyping over 250,000 volunteers around the world – helping to ensure ancestral diversity is included in Parkinson’s disease-related genetic research and making Parkinson’s genetics globally relevant. GP2’s commitment to serving underrepresented populations extends to providing tools, trainings, and other resources to Parkinson’s disease researchers around the world.

Parkinson’s Progression Markers Initiative
Parkinson’s Progression Markers Initiative

The Parkinson’s Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI) is a landmark observational study designed to support worldwide strategies for investigating and defining biomarker signatures of Parkinson’s disease risk, onset, and progression​. PPMI makes its data set and biorepository – the most robust in Parkinson’s to date – available to academia and industry to accelerate breakthroughs.
