The U.S. Department of Defense has announced partial allocation of its $900 million to use for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The funding came on May 25, when the President signed into law the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Bill that provides, among other things, the funding for treatment and research of PTSD and TBI.
Parkinson's researchers interested in securing grants related to stress
or head trauma may be eligible for this funding. PAN strongly

Four awards have been created to go along with the grants. Listed

Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program at the U.S. Army
Medical Research and Materiel Command.
