Research

Our mission is to accelerate innovative research and treatments to slow, stop, and cure Parkinson’s.

Our strategies:
1

We create a culture of collaboration within the Australian Parkinson’s research community

Our partnership with The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research (MJFF) provides opportunities for real time sharing of data and tools to accelerate knowledge and speed progress towards breakthroughs. This collaborative approach includes regular workshops and forums with some of Australia’s best and brightest in the area of Parkinson’s research.
2

We fund only world’s best cutting edge research in Australia

Our partnership with MJFF gives confidence that the research we are funding in Australia is internationally competitive. All funded research is first assessed and validated by the expert panel of scientists at MJFF to eliminate redundancy of research around the globe. Once approved the research projects are monitored and benchmarked by a team of formally trained PhDs and business-trained project managers. This includes periodic release of funds in line with the approved grant and on the basis of reported results.
3

We provide an opportunity for Parkinson’s patients, their loved ones and all members of the community to contribute to this ground breaking research on the path to a cure.

Shake It Up Australia is committed to providing innovative and collaborative opportunities to inspire members of the Parkinson’s community – and the general public – to act in greater numbers than ever and to empower them to be a part of our quest to find the cure. Specifically, the Foundation has created the opportunity for EVERYONE to be able to run their own fundraising event or to participate in an already organised event.
