What are your priority research questions? |
We need your help in identifying the questions that matter the most to you!
PSPA supports people living with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) & CorticoBasal Degeneration (CBD)*. Through the funding of innovative research we aim to improve diagnosis, discover effective treatments, to understand the conditions and look to identify better ways to improve the health, quality of life and care for patients.
In order to meet these objectives, PSPA is reviewing its current research strategy and wants to ensure that their future strategy encompasses the research needs of people affected by PSP & CBD, by giving researchers, health professionals, patients and carers a say in what is important to them.
The results of this study will help our charity fund research in the areas where there are gaps in knowledge.
What’s involved if I take part in the study?
Participating in the study is voluntary. It involves completing this questionnaire. The information provided through this questionnaire will then feed into a “ranking phase” of the study to identify the Top Ten Research Priority Questions for PSP & CBD.

Will my answers be kept confidential?

What will happen to the results?
PSPA will make the final results public, and use the results to inform the PSPA 2020-2023 Research Strategy and Research Funding Programme. PSPA will also work to promote the results of the questionnaires with other organisations that fund PSP & CBD research.
