The People with Parkinson's Advisory Council (PPAC) is a committee of people with Parkinson's Disease created to provide the patient perspective to the Parkinson's Disease Foundation (PDF) in developing programs and setting priorities. Specifically, the PPAC advises PDF on the types of research it funds, the needs of the Parkinson's community, and the informational resources and educational programs it develops. PPAC members also represent the foundation at meetings, conferences, and other local activities within the Parkinson's community.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.pdf.org/ppac )〕 ==Selection and Term== PPAC members are selected through an application process. People living with or affected by Parkinson's disease are eligible to apply. Once selected, PPAC members serve a three-year term. The PPAC meets four times per year—three times by phone and once in person at PDF's New York Headquarters. PDF announced new members of the PPAC in May 2015. The Advisory Council's current chair is Linda Morgan, M.B.A., R.Ph., of Asheville, NC, and the vice chair is Karen Smith of Evansville, IN. As PPAC chair, Morgan also serves as a member of the Parkinson Disease Foundation's Board of Directors.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.pdf.org/en/media_pr/release/pr_1431449529 )〕 Among the new PPAC members announced in 2014 were the first two individuals on the Advisory Council that are caregivers of people with Parkinson's disease. Prior to this time, all Advisory Council members had been individuals diagnosed with PD. New members announced in 2015 include a retired psychologist, research scientist, and high school principal, all living with Parkinson's disease. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「People with Parkinson's Advisory Council」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
