      <Description>RESEARCH &amp; GRANT PROGRAM: FARA'S COMMITMENT TO FUNDING HIGH QUALITY RESEARCH PROJECTS THAT MOVE US CLOSER TO EFFECTIVE TREATMENTS CONTINUED AT AN ACCELERATED PACE IN 2011. IN TOTAL, FARA PROVIDED &gt;$2.5M IN RESEARCH GRANT AND CLINICAL RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDING. OVER THE PAST YEAR, 29 NEW GRANT APPLICATIONS WERE SUBMITTED AND AFTER RIGOROUS PEER REVIEW, 13 WERE DETERMINED MERITORIOUS AND AWARDED FUNDING IN 2011 AND EARLY 2012. IN ADDITION, BASED ON EXCELLENT PROGRESS, CONTINUATION FUNDING WAS PROVIDED FOR 14 PROJECTS, FOR A TOTAL OF 27 GRANTS AWARDED.- RESEARCH INTO FA IS PROVIDING INSIGHTS AND ADVANCES IN OTHER DISEASES SUCH AS MITOCHONDRIAL DISEASES, MUSCULAR DYSTROPHIES, DIABETES, AND CARDIOMYOPATHY.- SEE SCHEDULE O FOR CONTINUATION OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS.- THESE FUNDED PROJECTS ADDRESS NUMEROUS IMPORTANT RESEARCH QUESTIONS THAT DIRECTLY TARGET FARA'S STRATEGIC RESEARCH INITIATIVES, INCLUDING IMPROVED FUNCTIONAL MEASURES AND BIOMARKERS FOR CLINICAL TRIALS, ADVANCES IN GENE AND CELL THERAPY APPROACHES, IMPROVED TOOLS FOR DRUG DISCOVERY, AND EVALUATION OF CANDIDATES TO ADVANCE TO THE TREATMENT PIPELINE. SEVERAL ARE CO-FUNDED WITH OUR FRIEDREICH'S ATAXIA ADVOCACY GROUP PARTNERS; THIS COLLABORATIVE APPROACH BOTH INCREASES THE NUMBER OF AVAILABLE RESEARCH DOLLARS AND HELPS TO MINIMIZE DUPLICATION OF EFFORT. OF NOTE, FA SHARES SIMILAR SYMPTOMS AND DISEASE MECHANISMS WITH OTHER DISEASES, BOTH RARE AND COMMON. - PARTICULARLY PROMISING RESEARCH FUNDED BY FARA IS BEING DONE BY DR. SID HECHT AT ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY. HE IS SYNTHESIZING COMPOUNDS KNOWN AS MULTIFUNCTIONAL RADICAL QUENCHERS (MRQS) AND TESTING THEM IN FA CELL AND ANIMAL MODELS TO DETERMINE THEIR POTENTIAL AS TREATMENTS FOR FA. MRQ COMPOUNDS ARE DESIGNED TO BLUNT MITOCHONDRIAL DEGRADATION RESULTING FROM OXIDATIVE STRESS AND TO AUGMENT ATP PRODUCTION IN PARTIALLY DYSFUNCTIONAL MITOCHONDRIA. IN A RECENTLY PUBLISHED PAPER (ARCE ET AL, 2011, A STRATEGY FOR SUPPRESSING REDOX STRESS WITHIN MITOCHONDRIA, ACS MED. CHEM. LETT. 2:608-613), DR. HECHT AND HIS COLLEAGUES DEMONSTRATED THAT THEY HAD DEVELOPED AN MRQ THAT PROTECTS FA FIBROBLASTS FROM OXIDATIVE STRESS MORE EFFECTIVELY THAN EITHER IDEBENONE OR IDEBENOL. THEY ARE CONTINUING TO DEVELOP AND EVALUATE MODIFIED MRQ COMPOUNDS TO IDENTIFY THOSE THAT ARE LIKELY TO BE THE MOST EFFECTIVE THERAPEUTIC AGENTS FOR FA.- ANOTHER GRANT AWARD TARGETING DRUG DISCOVERY HAS GONE TO DR. GINO CORTOPASSI AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, DAVIS. DR. CORTOPASSI HAS DEVELOPED AN APPROACH THAT TARGETS REPURPOSING OF DRUGS. HE DEVELOPED ASSAY TO SCREEN DRUGS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN APPROVED FOR HUMAN USE IN OTHER DISEASES AND INDICATIONS AND IDENTIFY THOSE DRUGS THAT PROTECT THE FA PATIENT CELLS FROM DEATH. THIS GRANT AWARD FOCUSES ON DETERMINING THE MECHANISMS OF ACTION, RELATIVE POTENCY, AND EFFICACY IN CELL AND ANIMAL MODELS OF THE SELECTED DRUGS IN PREPARATION FOR CLINICAL TESTING IN INDIVIDUALS WITH FA. SUCH AN APPROACH TO REPURPOSING DRUGS OFFERS A POTENTIAL EXPEDITED COURSE TO CLINICAL TESTING BECAUSE MUCH IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THESE DRUGS AS THEY HAVE ALREADY BEEN STUDIED IN OTHER DISEASES.- FARA IS ALSO FUNDING THE DEVELOPMENT OF CLINICAL MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES FOR FA, WHICH WILL BE A VALUABLE RESOURCE FOR ASSISTING CLINICIANS AND FA PATIENTS IN MAKING APPROPRIATE HEALTH CARE DECISIONS. ADDITIONALLY, FARA CONTINUES TO SUPPORT THE STANDARDIZED CHARACTERIZATION OF FA MOUSE MODELS AT THE JACKSON LABORATORY. THE EXCITING ADVANCES IN DIFFERENTIATION OF INDUCED PLURIPOTENT STEM (IPS) CELL LINES FROM FA PATIENTS INTO SENSORY NEURONS AND CARDIOMYOCYTES IS ANOTHER RESEARCH AREA THAT FARA IS SUPPORTING.- IN ADDITION TO RESEARCH GRANTS FARA FUNDS THE ONGOING DEVELOPMENT OF VITAL CLINICAL RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE. CLINICAL RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE REFERS TO THE RESOURCES NEEDED TO FACILITATE ANY TYPE OF RESEARCH, INCLUDING CLINICAL TRIALS, THAT INVOLVE PATIENTS. THESE RESOURCES CAN INCLUDE THINGS LIKE: - PATIENT REGISTRY : A DATABASE THAT CAPTURES INFORMATION ON INDIVIDUALS WITH A SPECIFIC CONDITION - FARA PATIENT REGISTRY : WWW.CUREFA.ORG/REGISTRY - NATURAL HISTORY STUDY: LONGITUDINAL DATA (USUALLY ABOUT 10 YEARS) ON INDIVIDUALS WITH A DISEASE THAT DESCRIBES AND QUANTIFIES THE PROGRESSION OF THE DISEASE ALONG WITH THE SYMPTOMS AND MANIFESTATIONS OF THE DISEASE. NATURAL HISTORY CAN SOMETIMES SERVE AS THE BASIS FROM WHICH MEASUREMENTS CAN BE MADE TO DETERMINE EFFECTS OF NEW TREATMENTS, DRUGS OR INTERVENTIONS. - CLINICAL OUTCOME MEASURES : FUNCTIONAL PERFORMANCE TESTS (E.G., TIMED PEGBOARD OR WALK TESTS, VISION, HEARING OR SPEECH TESTS) THAT QUANTIFY HOW MUCH CHANGE TAKES PLACE IN A SPECIFIC AMOUNT OF TIME AND ARE USED IN CLINICAL TRIALS TO MEASURE WHETHER A DRUG IS ALTERING THE COURSE OF THE DISEASE. - BIOMARKERS: ANYTHING THAT CAN BE USED AS AN INDICATOR OF A PARTICULAR DISEASE STATE - USUALLY PROTEINS, ENZYMES, GENETIC VARIANTS, IMAGING (MRI, CT OR PET SCANS). BIOMARKERS CAN BE USED TO ASSESS RISK OF DISEASE, DIAGNOSIS, OR OUTCOMES. USE OF BIOMARKERS IN DRUG DEVELOPMENT IS OF GREAT INTEREST BECAUSE BIOMARKERS CAN PROVIDE EVIDENCE OF BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY, POTENTIALLY DEMONSTRATING THERAPEUTIC BENEFIT MORE QUICKLY THAN TRADITIONAL OUTCOME MEASURES. - BIOREPOSITORY: A REPOSITORY OR BANK OF STORED BIOLOGICAL MATERIALS SUCH AS BLOOD SAMPLES, DNA, ORGANS, AND TISSUES (SUCH AS SKIN, MUSCLE, HEART) THAT CAN BE USED FOR RESEARCH. - COLLABORATIVE CLINICAL RESEARCH NETWORK IN FA (CCRN IN FA): AN INTERNATIONAL NETWORK OF 11 CLINICAL RESEARCH CENTERS THAT WORK TOGETHER TO ADVANCE TREATMENTS AND CLINICAL CARE FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH FRIEDREICH'S ATAXIA. HAVING SUCH A NETWORK MEANS THAT THERE ARE TRAINED PHYSICIANS AND RESEARCH COORDINATORS READY TO DO CLINICAL RESEARCH STUDIES AND TRIALS. ALSO, THIS NETWORK IS BACKED BY A DATA COORDINATION CENTER THAT FACILITATES ALL ASPECTS OF DATA COLLECTION, DATABASE MANAGEMENT, AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF STUDY DATA. TO LEARN MORE, VISIT WWW.CUREFA.ORG/NETWORK.HTML- THROUGH THE CCRN IN FA WE HAVE COLLECTED SIX YEARS OF NATURAL HISTORY DATA (ONGOING) IN MORE THAN 600 INDIVIDUALS WITH FA, VALIDATED CLINICAL OUTCOME MEASURES AND THE FARS SCALE, STUDIED SPEECH, VISION AND HEARING, LAUNCHED BIOMARKER STUDIES, ESTABLISHED DNA AND RNA REPOSITORIES, AND PROVIDED MANY BLOOD SAMPLES TO RESEARCHERS AROUND THE WORLD. THE CCRN IN FA INVESTIGATORS HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN MULTIPLE CLINICAL TRIALS INCLUDING A FEW THAT WERE DESIGNED AND CONDUCTED SOLELY THROUGH NETWORK SITES.FARA CONTRIBUTED MORE THAN $500,000 IN 2011 TO CLINICAL RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE IN DIRECT FUNDING TO THE CCRN IN FA CENTERS AND RELATED CLINICAL RESEARCH ACTIVITIES.- TITLES AND SUMMARIES OF MOST OF THE PROJECTS PRESENTLY FUNDED BY FARA ARE AVAILABLE AT:WWW.CUREFA.ORG/RPMP/PUBLIC/PGGRANTLIST.ASPX AND COMPLETE LISTINGS OF GRANTS AWARDED BY YEAR CAN BE ACCESSED AT: WWW.CUREFA.ORG/GRANTS-AWARDED.HTML</Description>

        <Description>RESEARCH CONFERENCES: FARA ORGANIZES AND SUPPORTS A NUMBER OF SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCES TO IMPROVE SHARING OF KNOWLEDGE, INSIGHTS AND ADVANCES AND BUILD COLLABORATIONS AND SYNERGISTIC CONNECTIONS BETWEEN FA RESEARCHERS. IN 2011, FARA SPONSORED THE LARGEST FA SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCE HELD IN STRASBOURG, FRANCE MAY 5-7 2011.- MORE THAN 200 SCIENTISTS, PHYSICIANS, AND ADVOCACY PARTNERS CONVENED AT THE INSTITUTE OF GENETICS AND MOLECULAR AND CELLULAR BIOLOGY (IGBMC) IN STRASBOURG, FRANCE TO SHARE THEIR LATEST RESEARCH ON FRIEDREICH'S ATAXIA. THE IGBMC WAS A PERFECT PLACE TO HOLD SUCH A MEETING BECAUSE IT IS HOME TO SEVERAL RESEARCHERS WHO HAVE LONGSTANDING COMMITMENTS AND CONTRIBUTIONS TO FA RESEARCH. THESE RESEARCHERS ARE PART OF THE CORE GROUP WHO IDENTIFIED THE FA GENE AND MUTATION WHICH CAUSE FA, DEVELOPED THE FIRST ANIMAL MODELS, AND NOW CONTINUE TO DO IMPORTANT RESEARCH INTO UNDERSTANDING FRATAXIN FUNCTION, MITOCHONDRIAL DYSFUNCTION IN FA, AND DEVELOPMENT OF NEW ANIMAL AND CELLULAR MODELS.- THE STRASBOURG MEETING WAS THE LARGEST GATHERING OF THE FA SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY AND INCLUDED: - SCIENTISTS FROM 15 COUNTRIES - SEVEN PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES PARTICIPATING THROUGH ATTENDANCE, PRESENTATIONS OF RESEARCH, AND/OR SPONSORSHIP - SIX BIOTECHNOLOGY COMPANIES CONTRIBUTING THROUGH SPONSORSHIP - 10 ADVOCACY PARTNERS SUPPORTING THE CONFERENCE THROUGH SPONSORSHIP AND/OR ATTENDANCE - 58 ORAL PRESENTATIONS AND 53 POSTER PRESENTATIONS OF ORIGINAL RESEARCH - 25 SCHOLARSHIPS AWARDED TO JUNIOR INVESTIGATORS SUBMITTING COMPETITIVE ABSTRACTS TO SUPPORT THEIR PARTICIPATION IN THE CONFERENCE- THIS CONFERENCE COVERED ALL ASPECTS OF FA RESEARCH FROM THE INTRICACIES OF HOW THE GAA REPEAT EXPANSION IN THE FA GENE RESULTS IN LOWER FRATAXIN PROTEIN TO RESULTS OF CLINICAL TRIALS. THE CONFERENCE WAS DIVIDED INTO EIGHT SESSIONS BASED ON TOPIC AREA, BUT ALL ATTENDEES PARTICIPATED EQUALLY THROUGHOUT AS INSIGHTS FROM ONE AREA OF THE RESEARCH MAY HAVE IMPLICATIONS AND INSIGHTS INTO ANOTHER AREA. BASIC RESEARCHERS AND CLINICAL SCIENTISTS SHARED THEIR FINDINGS, IDEAS AND CHALLENGES SO THAT EACH COULD LEARN FROM THE APPLIED KNOWLEDGE.- THE SCIENTIFIC PROCEEDINGS OF THIS MEETING WERE RECENTLY PUBLISHED IN THE JOURNAL OF DISEASE MODELS AND MECHANISMS - ALAIN MARTELLI, MAREK NAPIERALA, HELENE PUCCIO., UNDERSTANDING THE GENETIC AND MOLECULAR PATHOGENESIS OF FRIEDREICH'S ATAXIA THROUGH ANIMAL AND CELLULAR MODELSDIS. MODEL. MECH. MARCH 2012, DOI: 10.1242/DMM.008706VOL. 5 NO. 2 165-176- FARA ORGANIZED A FOCUSED MEETING OF RESEARCHERS WORKING ON THE GENERATION AND DIFFERENTIATION OF FA IPS CELLS TO DISCUSS ISSUES AND COMPARE RESULTS. THIS MEETING TOOK PLACE IN PHILADELPHIA IN OCTOBER 2011 AND FOLLOWED UP ON ITEMS DISCUSSED AT THE FA STEM CELL TASK FORCE MEETING HELD DIRECTLY AFTER THE STRASBOURG CONFERENCE IN MAY. AN IMPORTANT OUTCOME WAS THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE FA IPS DATABASE, WHICH PROVIDES DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT ALL OF THE AVAILABLE FA IPS CELL LINES.</Description>

        <Description>EDUCATION, AWARENESS &amp; OUTREACH PROGRAMS: FRIEDREICH'S ATAXIA (FA) IS A RARE DISEASE; AFFECTING 1 IN 50,000 INDIVIDUALS. FARA IS DEDICATED TO RAISING AWARENESS FOR FA. FARA HAS UTILIZED BOTH TRADITIONAL AND SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGIES TO BRING GREATER AWARENESS TO FA IN THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND TO ENGAGE AND EDUCATE THE FA COMMUNITY. IN 2011, FARA WAS ABLE TO PARTNER WITH SEVERAL CELEBRITIES TO CREATE VIDEO-BASED AWARENESS CAMPAIGNS LEVERAGED THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA.- THE CAST OF ARMY WIVES - TAKE ACTION, DONATE, CURE FA - HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=WX-C4LWSP0I- RONDE BARBER AND KYLE BRYANT TALK ABOUT FRIEDREICH'S ATAXIA - HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=3WYBNC1_EZI- FARA STAFF AND SCIENTIFIC ADVISORS WERE INVITED TO GIVE FORMAL PRESENTATIONS AT SEVERAL MEDICAL AND PATIENT CONFERENCES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR; INCLUDING THE ANNUAL CHILD NEUROLOGY MEETING IN OCTOBER IN SAVANNAH, GA.- ALSO, IN 2011 FARA LAUNCHED A NEW AMBASSADOR PROGRAM WHICH MENTORS AND ENCOURAGES INDIVIDUALS WITH FA TO DEVELOP AND SHARE THEIR PERSONAL STORY AND TO BEGIN GRASSROOTS OUTREACH TO RAISE AWARENESS.</Description>
