One of the main reasons why the National PKU Alliance was formed was to create a national research program to help drive more research for phenylketonuria and accelerate the timeline for a cure. By creating a centralized program, we combine all research money raised locally and nationally to make a larger impact on supporting research that will bring about better treatment options and an eventual cure for PKU. Since our inception, NPKUA member organizations and individuals raised over $4 million for the NPKUA Research Program.
The overall funding strategy of the NPKUA is to support research that will promote advances in the treatment and management of phenylketonuria, with the long term goal of facilitating the development of a cure. To provide guidance on how to best achieve this goal the NPKUA established a Scientific Advisory Board made up of key thought leaders to help guide the Alliance's support for research in the PKU arena.
