Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy is a nonprofit organization based in Washington, DC, focused on Duchenne muscular dystrophy. It seeks to accelerate research, influence policy to improve patient care, and ensure access to approved therapies for affected families. The organization engages patients, families, researchers, and advocacy partners to translate scientific advances into real-world outcomes. As a mid-sized nonprofit in the health philanthropy space, it operates from its district headquarters to coordinate its research and advocacy activities. One recent development is a collaboration with Mesoblast designed to bolster patient identification and trial awareness for a Duchenne study, reflecting the group’s active engagement with industry partners.
