THE ALLIANCE MADE A JOINT COMMITMENT TO SPEED UP THE DEVELOPMENT OF TREATMENT FOR PROGRESSIVE MS BY REMOVING SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGY BARRIERS. THE ALLIANCE HAS FOUR STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES WHICH INCLUDE: better understand progression so treatments can be identified and tested, design shorter, faster trails that measure patient outcomes, conduct trails to test agents, develope and evaluate new therapies to manage symptoms. As a managing member, the Society committed to providing funds of $7,691,526 through 2019 and has committed $17,685,590 over the following six years, conditional on various factors. In addition, the Society maintains custody of the pooled funds contributed from other Alliance members. The disbursement of funds for various progressive MS research initiatives is approved by voting Alliance members. The Society received a total of $5,787,748 during the year ending September 30, 2019 from Alliance members, which will be held until such time the funds are approved for expenditure. As of September 30, 2019, the Society recorded unspent donated funds, consisting of both Society and other Alliance members monies, totaling $10,030,005, as a liability.
