Reasons to E-mail Today
- Funding the NETRP program is our top-priority and we must work to include the program in the Senate bill for the first time this year.
- The NETRP program has never been funded in the Senate Defense Appropriations bill. Because the program was not funded in the Senate bill last year, it resulted in a $6.5 million cut to the program.
- The NETRP program is a national peer-reviewed granting program that aims to improve the treatment of and find a cure for Parkinson’s disease as well as provide the Department of Defense with information on how to best protect military personnel. All NETRP program grants have direct military application.
- We currently have 21 Senators signed onto the NETRP Dear Colleague. Your Senator’s signature could mean the difference in millions of Parkinson’s research dollars.
