We fund and promote ground-breaking research to improve the lives of people affected by PSP & CBD, and are dedicated to finding treatments and ultimately a cure.
PSPA Research Strategy
The PSPA Research Strategy comprises of four strategic elements identified from a three month consultation with patients, carers, clinicians, researchers and organisations with a link to PSP & CBD. The implementation of the strategy is supported by our Research Committee.
The strategy aims to:
- Prioritise PSPA research
- Prevention and causes
- Awareness and education
- Improved diagnosis, reduced misdiagnosis
- Drug discovery and targeted treatments for underlying causes
- Improved interventions for the treatment of all the symptoms of the conditions
2. Support the research stars of the future
3. Engage patients and carers in research
4. Enhance communication, collaboration and change
The full strategy can be viewed here.
Our PSP Research Network is central to our research activity. This UK-wide collaboration between leading PSP research centres is a major step towards the achievement of our strategic aims.
