Honoring A Father\u2019s Legacy<\/h3>\n

In a moving tribute to their father who had a passion for research, the Weiss family recently made a generous gift to APDA from a Donor Advised Fund (DAF).<\/p>\n

To commemorate this special contribution, APDA has created the Stuart R. Weiss Research Grant, which honors the life of Stuart R. Weiss, MD, an esteemed endocrinologist and accomplished researcher. Driven by a passion for developing new therapies and known for his rigor and success, Dr. Weiss built one of the nation\u2019s largest private pharmaceutical research organizations, was widely sought for his expertise, generously supported causes close to his heart, and lived with PD for 16 years. In partnership with the Weiss family, we established this grant to honor Dr. Weiss\u2019s legacy and inspire young researchers to follow in his footsteps.<\/p>\n

APDA is grateful for the Weiss family\u2019s generous support, which will help fuel our research program that champions early-career scientists who want to build a lifelong career in PD research.<\/strong><\/p>\n
