Collaborative Research Network

The ASAP Collaborative Research Network (CRN), which launched in 2020, is the first of its kind to foster an environment that facilitates the rapid and free exchange of scientific ideas to spark new discoveries for Parkinson’s disease.

The CRN utilizes open science principles to accelerate discoveries and improve outcomes, foster collaborations, generate resources, and share data assets within a global research network.

We designed the program to encourage diverse perspectives and open discourse to support high-risk, ambitious projects, reshaping how science in the Parkinson’s field is conducted; and reinvigorate the research pipeline to identify new targets and pathways for translational studies and commercialization.

Highlights

Since 2020, the CRN has brought together more than 160 investigators across international teams in 14 countries, organized into 35 research teams. Check out a few of the highlights resulting from this network.

CRN Around the Globe

The CRN brings together a diverse, international community of multidisciplinary teams made of over 200 investigators and trainees from leading academic and research institutions. Our community is a driving force behind ASAP’s mission to accelerate the pace of discovery in Parkinson’s disease through team-based, open, and multidisciplinary science.
