Executive Leadership
Implementation Partner
Since ASAP’s inception, the Michael J. Fox Foundation (MJFF) has worked in parallel with ASAP to complement its programs. We have leveraged the MJFF grantmaking and scientific infrastructure to process proposals, issue grants, and steward key scientific teams. Beyond grantmaking, we are supporting the expansion of the Parkinson’s Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI), MJFF’s landmark study.
Current Scientific Advisory Board
“Parkinson’s Disease presents a challenging scientific problem as well as a major unmet medical need. The ASAP Initiative offers an opportunity for major innovative impact on both fronts in this important area.”
Planning Advisory Council
With thanks to ASAP’s founding Advisory Council for their input and guidance in development of the strategic roadmap.
