DESCRIPTION:Aim: The Michael J. Fox Foundation seeks to support studies us
 ing large\, existing epidemiological datasets to identify factors that dec
 rease the risk of Parkinson's disease (PD). The purpose of this program is
  to identify factors such as lifestyle behaviors (e.g.\, diet and exercise
 ) or use of pharmacological or other medical interventions that decrease t
 he risk of PD and could be used to develop prevention and/or treatment app
 roaches. Lifestyle factors may reduce the risk of PD or delay the onset. I
 nterventions for a variety of other medical conditions may also contribute
  to risk by providing protection against PD. This approach may also identi
 fy pharmacological interventions that could potentially be repurposed to t
 reat PD or novel targets for further research.\n \nMJFF is especially int
 erested in funding projects that utilize large longitudinal datasets and w
 ill prioritize collaborative efforts that bring together teams of investig
 ators with access to multiple diverse datasets.\n \nFunding:       M
 aximum USD $500’000\n                       \nDur
 ation:      1-2 years\n                       \
