Ataxia Research Prepares for Clinical Trials
The NAF Board of Directors approved funding of a Clinical Research Consortium for Ataxia. This program will provide financial support for one year to academic medical centers across the United States. These sites will develop the tools necessary to perform clinical Ataxia research. Initial funding was provided by a generous donation from the Gordon and Marilyn Macklin Foundation. This is a significant time in Ataxia research and the National Ataxia Foundation will continue to support these important endeavors that will find treatments and a cure.
