NAF Ataxia Research Studies Currently in Progress

The National Ataxia Foundation is pleased to announce that eight promising ataxia research studies from six different countries were awarded funding at the December 2008 NAF Board of Directors meeting. Also approved earlier in 2008 was an award to co-fund a clinical trial for various forms of SCA, which will begin in early 2009. These studies are in addition to two Kyle Bryant Translational Research awards that NAF co-funded and a Young Investigator award that was funded in 2008. All of these important research projects have been made possible through the generosity of NAF donors who contributed to the 2008 NAF Annual Ataxia Research Drive and those individuals and families who conducted fund raising events: More...
