NEW - NAF Ataxia Research Studies Currently in Progress

The National Ataxia Foundation is pleased to announce that 10 promising ataxia research studies were awarded funding at the December 2009 NAF Board of Directors meeting. Also approved earlier in 2009 was an award to fund a patient registry for various forms of ataxia, which will be available in early 2010 and a Biorepository for ataxia research. These studies are in addition to two Kyle Bryant Translational Research awards that NAF co-funded in 2009. All 14 of these important research projects have been made possible through the generosity of NAF donors who contributed to the 2009 NAF Annual Ataxia Research Drive, our corporate and foundation friends, the Michael and Patricia Clementz Family Endowment Fund for SCA 3 Research, NAF chapters and support groups, individual and group donations, and those individuals and families who conducted fund raising events: More...
