The American Parkinson Disease Association, Inc. was founded in 1961 to “ease the burden and find the cure” for Parkinson’s disease. Headquartered in Staten Island, New York, the organization focuses its energies on research, patient services, education and raising public awareness about the disease. The APDA Scientific Advisory Board annually reviews grant applications and recommends funding for research which shows promise for new breakthroughs or improved treatments. The APDA research budget for 2005-2006 is close to 3 million dollars, plus 2.5 million for the funding of eight advanced centers for PD research. The APDA national office also coordinates the efforts of chapters and information and referral centers across the nation. Additionally, over 2.5 million dollars are budgeted to support patient services.
