PDF Tenth PAIR Training

On July 16, 2016, the Parkinson's Disease Foundation (PDF) welcomed 20 people with Parkinson's and care partners to its national research advocacy network.

The newest PDF Research Advocates participated in the tenth training for Parkinson's Advocates in Research, a signature program of PDF. Those trained through the program have made strides in advancing patient-centered research and care by advising government on research priorities, collaborating with industry to create models of patient engagement and partnering with academic centers to reach underserved communities.

The training is part of PDF's strategy to end Parkinson's by building a team of leaders in science, health care and the patient community, and mobilizing them to work together toward a cure. Learn more by visiting www.pdf.org/pair.
