A key element in the APMRF's carefully focused research program is the Scientific Advisory Board comprised of internationally recognized geneticists, molecular biologists, neurologists and pathologists. This Board formulates the direction of APMRF-sponsored research and recommends specific grant proposals to the National Board of Directors.
