Funding

Securing Continuing Department of Defense Funding for Parkinson’s Research

On March 26, 2013, President Obama signed a funding bill that funds the NETPR program for the remainder of Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 at $16 million.  While the funding bill did not address sequestration, PAN is pleased that this critically important program will be able to continue its work in the year ahead and committed to ensuring the program has necessary resources and support from decision makers moving forward.   

Current Funding Efforts

With the President’s FY 2014 Budget expected in April 2013 and the Congressional appropriations process started, PAN is advocating for $16 million for the NETPR program in FY 2014.  For more information, see this one-page summary.
