Formed: 2006

The primary goal of the Genetic and Environmental Risk Factors Working Group is to generate proposals for new research studies, either interventional or observational, as well as retrospective data mining projects.
Each working group has a mandate statement that describes the goals of the working group, potential scope of working group activity, examples of ideas for projects, and procedures for member initiated proposals. A discussion request form is provided to submit preliminary proposals/ideas to working groups to provide feedback and discussions that will help the investigator to improve the plan and potentially to prepare a more complete proposal for submission to the PSG Scientific Review Committee or for a submission to other funding agencies. Click on the links below to access the documents.
Want to get involved or have an idea for a project related to genetic and environmental risk factors in PD? Please contact Dr. Nance via email.
