Funds a highly collaborative consortium of scientists and clinicians at academic institutions in the US and EU to understand the underlying mechanisms of disease and advance therapeutic approaches. Supports the FTD patient registry (ftdregistry.org), Neurofilament Surveillance Project (allftd.org/nsp), and FTD Prevention Initiative (thefpi.org). Investigators have leveraged results into federally financed research grants, maximizing both private and public support for frontotemporal dementia research.
