Our first R01!

As of July, we have received our first R01 grant, titled “Impaired sensory filtering as a mechanism of Parkinson’s disease.” We’re starting to investigate the impacts of sensory deficits on movement in disorders like Parkinson’s disease – do some of the classic motor symptoms of PD (slow movements, rigidity, tremor) actually result from altered sensory processing? We’re going to find out!

Here’s a link to the NIH RePORTER page for the grant: https://reporter.nih.gov/search/Z4HgxxdNokCza5r11dK2yA/project-details/10496464

It’s a 3-year project with $250,000/year direct costs. Exciting! And terrifying as a new PI – cross your fingers!
