Glimpse-PD: glymphatics imaging to probe sleep in parkinson's disease

The Department of Defense, through the Military Medical Research and Development program (CFDA 12.420), awarded a $1,047,751 Project Grant to the Portland VA Research Foundation, Inc. to conduct the "GLIMPSE-PD: GLYMPHATICS IMAGING TO PROBE SLEEP IN PARKINSON'S DISEASE" research project. This 4-year award, beginning on Sep 1, 2024 and ending on Aug 31, 2028, will enable the Portland VA Research Foundation to carry out scientific research aimed at improving health outcomes for military service members, veterans, and the broader public. The research will focus on leveraging glymphatics imaging techniques to investigate the relationship between sleep disturbances and Parkinson's disease progression, with the goal of developing more effective treatments. As a non-profit organization specializing in healthcare-related scientific research, the Portland VA Research Foundation has a proven track record of collaborating with federal agencies like the Department of Health and Human Services on similar initiatives.
