Biennial Report 2014-2015
The Parkinson’s Disease Foundation® (PDF®) is a leading national presence in Parkinson’s disease research, education and public advocacy. We are working for the nearly one million people in the US who live with Parkinson’s by funding promising scientific research while supporting people living with Parkinson’s through educational programs and services. Since its founding in 1957, PDF has dedicated nearly $110 million to fund the work of leading scientists throughout the world and nearly $47 million to support national education and advocacy initiatives.

Letter from Leadership Dear Friend of the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation: It is our pleasure to be sharing with you this report from the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation (PDF) on the work we have been able to accomplish with your support during fiscal years 2014 and 2015. During this period, the environment for a nonprofit research and advocacy organization like ours has been challenging. Federal support for Parkinson’s disease science has been in short supply, meaning that fewer research proposals are being funded (just 14 percent of proposals to the National Institutes of Health received support during the period of this report, down from 25 percent just a few years earlier). Meanwhile, in the private sector, according to a recent report by The Institute of Medicine, six of the top 10 pharmaceutical companies have reduced their investments in brain science, by an average of 25 percent. In this environment, it is even more important than usual that PDF create a strategic focus that moves the needle on Parkinson’s research once and for all. We call it, “Progress, Passion and Impact.” It means progress, in combining our commitment to tried and true formulas for success with a promise to test new ideas. It means passion, in the excitement of the young scientists whose work we fund; in the energy that we see among our patient leaders; and in the devotion of our Board and staff to their work. And it means impact, in the questions that we ask of every PDF program. How will it advance science? How will it enhance lives, and how many? And how will it fuel hope, for improved care and an accelerated cure? To give content to these ideas, PDF initiated in 2014, under the guidance of our Board of Directors, Scientific Advisory Board and People with Parkinson’s Advisory Council, a year-long examination of how far we have come, and how we can contribute to solving the Parkinson’s puzzle moving forward. PDF’s strategy is to build a team of people — the best and brightest leaders in science, health care and the patient community — and then mobilize them to work towards the cure together.
PROGRESSIM 2 | BIENNIAL REPORT 2014-2015
This team of leaders propels the progress of our field. They all harness the passion of our players. And they all hold the promise of impact upon the problems and challenges that engage all of us in the Parkinson’s community. Here are three examples of new initiatives from the past two years that vividly illustrate these values: Created npj: Parkinson’s Disease, a new online, public access journal of Parkinson’s disease science in association with Nature Publishing Group, the premier publisher of scientific journals in the world; Initiated a partnership with The Edmond J. Safra Foundation to expand the Edmond J. Safra Foundation Visiting Nurse Faculty Program at PDF, which has trained 150 faculty members at nursing schools nationwide; Introduced a series of Parkinson’s Advocates in Research Leadership Awards, providing the first funding opportunity for scientists to expand their research teams to include people living with Parkinson’s. In different ways, these initiatives bring PDF’s program imagination and experience together with its institutional relationships to leverage small investments into large results. It remains for us to wish you a happy and healthy start to 2016, and to thank you for all you have done over the years to support and make possible the work of the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation. We simply could not do it without you, and we hope that you are as proud of your involvement with us as we are grateful for it. Sincerely yours,

Program Highlights Tim Bartels, M.Sc., Ph.D., of Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, a 2012 International Research Grants Program awardee, was part of a team that shed light on how and why alpha-synuclein (α-synuclein), a protein found in all brain cells, accumulates in Parkinson’s disease (PD). According to their research, α-synuclein normally occurs as a group of four strands, called a tetramer, and a change in this structure results in α-synuclein clumping together. The study suggests that by stabilizing α-synuclein’s shape to remain as a tetramer, the accumulation of this protein may be prevented. Sarah Ozinga of Cleveland State University and Cleveland Clinic, a 2013 PDF Summer Fellow, was part of a team that concluded that the iPad tablet offers a reliable and affordable way to assess and monitor balance difficulties in people with PD. Since postural instability remains one of the most difficult to treat aspects of Parkinson’s, there is hope that consumer electronics can help clinicians to develop better ways to treat and manage these symptoms.

Aiqun Li, Ph.D., of the New York Stem Cell Foundation, a
2014 Lucien Côté Early Investigator awardee, and colleagues created induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells from skin samples from a pair of identical twins, both with a glucocerebrosidase (GBA) genetic mutation that increases risk of PD, but only one twin had the disease. Researchers looked for differences between the twins’ neurons and found that while the neurons generated from both twins produced less dopamine (the chemical that is deficient in Parkinson’s disease) than normal, the twin with PD had even lower levels of dopamine because he had higher amounts In fiscal years of monoamine oxidase-B (MAO-B), an enzyme 2014 and 2015, that breaks down dopamine.

Center at Columbia University Medical Center, confirmed that dyskinesias (involuntary movements) may result from changes in the way that brain cells communicate in Parkinson’s rather than from a “toxic” effect of taking levodopa, the most common PD medication. Their research found that as PD progresses and more dopamine is lost, remaining brain cells become oversensitive to dopamine. The study supports an emerging view that PD progression, rather than length of time taking levodopa, underlies dyskinesias.
Benzi M. Kluger, M.D., M.S., of the University of Colorado, and Diane Cook, PDF Research Advocate and member, PDF People with Parkinson’s Advisory Council, 2015 Parkinson’s Advocates in Research (PAIR) Leadership awardees, partnered to study how building patient-researcher collaborations can accelerate Parkinson’s research. Dr. Kluger leveraged this support to attain a $1.9 million dollar contract from the Patient-

Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) to examine if outpatient palliative care improves patient-centered outcomes in PD.
Jennifer Goldman, M.D., of the PDF Research Center at Rush University, used research MRI to identify distinct structural differences in the brain that are associated with hallucinations in Parkinson’s. These differences occur in the areas of the brain associated with visual perception, and help explain why most hallucinations in PD are visual in nature (rather than auditory or tactile). This information may allow earlier detection of individuals at risk for hallucinations in PD and ultimately, the development of therapies targeting hallucinations and other impairments in visual perception. The Community Choice Research Awards were launched in 2013, inviting the Parkinson’s community for the first time to identify and set research priorities to be addressed by multidisciplinary teams (including people with Parkinson’s). In 2014, PDF announced $30,000 in funding to address two disabling, yet under-recognized symptoms of Parkinson’s — fatigue and gastrointestinal dysfunction — identified as priorities through participants in this initiative.
