About the Foundation
Scientists often find it difficult to get funding in the earliest stages of their research. The Bachmann-Strauss Dystonia & Parkinson Foundation often provides "seed money" to help explore the most promising hypotheses. Funded through annual grant awards, this helps to leverage new ideas and advances in the fields. To date, the Foundation has allocated over $10 million dollars to 202 grants around the world. These grants have helped to bring greater insight into the causes and-we hope-cures for dystonia and Parkinson's disease. See some of the key accomplishments that our funding has helped to make possible.
