DESCRIPTION:Aim: The Michael J. Fox Foundation (MJFF) funds research to be
 tter define\, measure\, and treat Parkinson’s disease as well as critica
 l tools and other resources to advance that research. The purpose of this 
 Request for Applications (RFA) is to develop biomarkers that can support t
 herapeutic development for priority pathways in PD. Specifically\, the dev
 elopment of biomarkers for pathways that are known to be affected in PD an
 d are the focus of therapeutic efforts—such as inflammation\, mitochondr
 ial function\, lysosomal function\, autophagy\, protein trafficking\, and 
 protein handling—would dramatically improve our ability to diagnosis\, o
 bjectively track the progression of disease\, enrich for subject populatio
 ns\, or more precisely detect a treatment response or target engagement.\n
