Identifier ReturnReference Explanation
Grantmaker's Description of How Grants are Used in Foreign Country   Upon awarding a grant, but prior to disbursement of any funds, MDA requires the following of all grantees: return of the signed notice of award and submission to MDA of current regulatory documents necessary to conduct the research (institutional review board (IRB) approvals, animal care approvals, FDA or other regulatory agency approvals, and the like). Continued funding for the period of the grant is contingent upon submission to and approval by MDA of annual progress reports and reports of expenditures from all grantees. If such reports are not received, or are deemed unsatisfactory, MDA may opt to suspend or cancel funding for the grant. For some MDA translational research grants, payments to the grantee are contingent upon meeting defined milestones. In such cases, a steering committee reviews the progress of the grantee and determines whether the milestone has been met.

Identifier Return Reference Explanation
Grantmaker's Description of How Grants are Used   Upon awarding a grant, but prior to disbursement of any funds, MDA requires the following of all grantees: return of the signed notice of award and submission to MDA of current regulatory documents necessary to conduct the research (institutional review board (IRB) approvals, animal care approvals, FDA or other regulatory agency approvals, and the like). Continued funding for the period of the grant is contingent upon submission to and approval by MDA of annual progress reports and reports of expenditures from all grantees. If such reports are not received, or are deemed unsatisfactory, MDA may opt to suspend or cancel funding for the grant. For some MDA translational research grants, payments to the grantee are contingent upon meeting defined milestones. In such cases, a steering committee reviews the progress of the grantee and determines whether the milestone has been met.

    Client Note 3 - PROFESSIONAL AND PUBLIC HEALTH EDUCATIONIn the year ended December 31, 2010, the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) expended $23.2 million on its professional and public health education program. MDA annually provides the medical profession, scientific community, general public, and people affected by neuromuscular diseases with timely and thorough information about MDA's programs and the diseases they cover.MDA successfully worked with media outlets nationwide in 2010, placing more than 10,000 documented news stories about its lifesaving mission on network, syndicated and local media outlets, along with substantial news coverage on the Internet. Conservatively representing hundreds of millions of impressions collectively, these valuable earned media placements were reinforced by thousands of no-cost public service advertisements. In addition to free banner advertisements on many high-traffic websites, large numbers of MDA's award-winning "Make a Muscle, Make a Difference" PSAs were published by newspapers and other periodicals; broadcast by national, regional and local television, cable and radio stations.MDA publications and extensive online postings produced a steady stream of information about MDA-funded research and health care services, as well as insightful articles on relevant legislation and inspiring individuals. MDA produced four issues of its award-winning national magazine, Quest, offering a readership of more than 350,000 a stimulating mix of articles. The Association also published six issues of ALS News magazine for those affected by ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or Lou Gehrig's disease) helping keep nearly 60,000 readers informed.In addition, MDA produced and distributed a variety of educational videos for families affected by muscular dystrophy and related diseases. These videos were reinforced by an extensive array of program-specific spots broadcast during the 2010 MDA Labor Day Telethon viewed by tens of millions. Among these spots were special profiles of people living with neuromuscular diseases; research updates; educational spots on the myriad of medical and health care services available through MDA's national network of 200 hospital-affiliated clinics; a spotlight on MDA's extraordinary summer camp program for children ages six to 17, and much more. The Association also continued to enhance its popular mda.org website, as well as a dozen other microsites. Internationally recognized as a key source of information about muscle and nerve diseases, total 2010 page views at mda.org surpassed 5 million, with unique visitors exceeding 2.2 million for the year.MDA also facilitated and promoted a variety of online chats monthly to give the families it serves, as well as medical and health care professionals, ample opportunities to ask questions about diseases, research, services and many other topics.
    Client Note 2 - HEALTH CARE AND COMMUNITY SERVICESThroughout the United States and Puerto Rico, the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) provides a wide variety of services to those affected by any of the disorders in its program, irrespective of age, race, creed, gender or color. MDA's services program is designed to assist those affected by muscular dystrophy and related diseases of the neuromuscular system, which affect children as well as adults. A complete list of diseases covered by MDA is contained in the Association's services brochure, copies of which are available upon request through MDA's National Headquarters at 3300 East Sunrise Drive, Tucson, Arizona 85718, from any of its 200 field offices in the United States and Puerto Rico, or its Web site at www.mda.org.MDA maintains the most comprehensive services program of any voluntary health agency in the country, helping individuals and their families meet the problems imposed by chronic, progressive neuromuscular diseases. This aspect of the Association's program accounted for over $ 77.3 million of its 2010 expenditures. The Association makes available a broad program of services ranging from a nationwide network of clinics providing access to top health professionals skilled in the diagnosis and medical management of neuromuscular diseases to assistance with essential support services, including the following: Diagnostic consultations and follow-up examinations by neuromuscular specialists through a nationwide network of 200 MDA clinics A national medical equipment program providing gently-used items, such as wheelchairs, communication technologies, walkers, hospital beds, bath aids and other assistive devices to enhance independence Assistance with repairs to prescribed medical equipment Nearly 80 week-long summer camp programs across the country providing fun and friendship for children affected by neuromuscular disease Annual physical, occupational, respiratory and speech therapy consultations Free flu shots Transitional services designed to provide support and resources for youth with neuromuscular disease who are entering adulthood Referrals to federal, state and community-based resources that offer assistance to those living with disabilities Support groups to assist families and individuals in coping with the special problems imposed by neuromuscular diseases Online support network and e-community, www.mda.org/mymda Online care coordination tool for families served by MDA, www.mda.org/myMuscleTeam/ Educational seminars that provide information about neuromuscular diseases and offer a forum to discuss subjects of importance to families living with these disordersMDA ClinicsMDA maintains a network of 200 hospital-affiliated neuromuscular clinics located at medical institutions and university-based facilities across the United States and Puerto Rico. Each year MDA provides tens of thousands of medical visits through its clinic program. Individuals affected by any of the disorders in MDA's purview have access to these clinics staffed by top health professionals using a multidisciplinary team approach. These experts advise about all aspects of medical management of neuromuscular disease, including respiratory care and physical therapy. Anyone whose physician suspects a neuromuscular disorder, upon referral by the person's physician, is eligible for a diagnostic evaluation at an MDA clinic. Should the diagnosis indicate a disease other than one included in MDA's program, the Association will then refer the individual to an appropriate community resource.Also, MDA clinics are essential to the advancement of neuromuscular disease research and serve as focal points for the clinical application of scientific advances designed to treat these disorders. They serve as the key centers for ongoing clinical trials for the development of potential therapies, which is the main priority of MDA's research program. As part of its clinic program, the Association has established 38 amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) centers across the country to focus attention on this very rapidly progressive debilitating neuromuscular disorder that strikes adults in the prime of life. Sites of MDA's ALS centers are as follows:* The Eleanor and Lou Gehrig MDA/ALS Center at Columbia University Medical Center in New York, NY;* Forbes Norris MDA/ALS Center at California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco, CA; * Jerry Lewis MDA/ALS Clinical and Research Center in Los Angeles, CA; * MDA/ALS Center at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, WI; * MDA/ALS Center at Methodist Neurological Institute in Houston, TX; * MDA/ALS Center at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, MA; * MDA/ALS Center at the University of Illinois at Chicago in Chicago, IL; * MDA/ALS Center at UCLA in Los Angeles, CA; * MDA/ALS Center at the University of Colorado in Denver, CO; * MDA/ALS Center at Yale University in New Haven, CT; * MDA/ALS Center at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, GA; * MDA/ALS Center at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD; * MDA/ALS Center at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, MO; * MDA/ALS Center at the University of Texas in Dallas, TX; * Kessenich Family MDA/ALS Center at the University of Miami, FL; * MDA/ALS Center at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, UT; * MDA/ALS Center at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, NC; * MDA/ALS Center at SUNY Upstate Medical University in Syracuse, NY; * MDA/ALS Center at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, KS; * The MDA/ALS Center at the Michigan Institute for Neurological Disorders in Farmington, MI.* MDA/ALS Center of Hope at Drexel University College of Medicine in Philadelphia, PA;* MDA/ALS Center at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix, AZ;* MDA/ALS Center at UPH Hospital in Tucson, AZ;* MDA/ALS Center at the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center in Albuquerque, NM;* MDA/ALS Center at the University of California, Irvine, CA;* MDA/ALS Center through the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, TX;* MDA/ALS Center at the University of Washington Medical Center in Seattle, WA;* MDA/ALS Center at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, TN;* MDA/ALS Center at Ohio State University in Columbus, OH;* MDA/ALS Center at the University of Rochester Medical Center in Rochester, NY;* MDA/ALS Center at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock, AR;* MDA/ALS Center at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center in Pittsburgh, PA;* MDA/ALS Center at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center in Worcester, MA;* MDA/ALS Center at Integris Southwest Medical Center in Oklahoma City, OK;* MDA/ALS Center at Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, OR;* MDA/ALS Center of Memphis Mid-South in Cordova, TN.* MDA/ALS Center at UCSF Medical Center in San Francisco, CA.* The Michigan State University MDA/ALS Center with two clinical sites at Michigan State University in East Lansing and Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital in Grand Rapids, MIMDA's services program is administered through its network of 200 field offices located in the United States and Puerto Rico. MDA health care service coordinators knowledgeable about federal, state and local community resources also assist families served by MDA by advising them about other services for which they may be eligible. MDA provides assistance to those it serves in need of prescribed medical equipment. In 2010 thousands of adaptive devices were provided to individuals through MDA's equipment program -- including, but not limited to, walkers, canes, bath equipment, wheelchairs, hydraulic lifts, communication technologies and hospital beds. MDA also assisted with repairs to all types of medical equipment for those it serves. In 2010, nearly 3,500 children ages 6-17 enjoyed a week of fun and friendship through MDA summer camps which offer activities geared to the special needs and abilities of those with neuromuscular disease. Thousands of individuals and their families received support through MDA's nationwide network of nearly 200 support groups, as well as through MDA-sponsored educational seminars, referral services and online chat sessions at www.mda.org/chat/calendar.html and live expert-hosted webinars which are then archived at www.mda.org. Support also was available through MDA's e-community, www.mda.org/mymda, and its online care coordination tool for families, www.mda.org/myMuscleTeam/.Additional information about MDA's Health Care and Community Services Program is available through MDA's Web site at www.mda.org/services.html.
    Client Note 1 - RESEARCHGeneralThe Muscular Dystrophy Association, Inc., (MDA) is a not-for-profit corporation incorporated on June 6, 1950, under the laws of the State of New York. MDA supports worldwide research to find the causes of and cures for muscular dystrophy and related neuromuscular disorders. The programs of MDA are supported almost entirely by individual private contributions from the general public. MDA neither receives fees from those it serves nor applies any means test for services, and by choice is not a United Way-supported agency.The diseases supported by MDA are the muscular dystrophies (among which are Duchenne and Becker); motor neuron diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, Lou Gehrig's disease) and spinal muscular atrophy; the peripheral nerve disorders Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and Friedreich's ataxia; inflammatory myopathies; disorders of the neuromuscular junction; metabolic diseases of muscle as well as other myopathies. Many of the disorders in MDA's program are genetic. Most cause progressive weakness resulting in significant disability and chronic mobility impairment. Some of the over 40 neuromuscular diseases covered by MDA are fatal.As reported by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health (NIH), in the United States alone, muscular dystrophy and other neuromuscular disorders are estimated to affect some 1 million people.ResearchMDA continues to support some 300 research teams worldwide through its investigator initiated research grants program primarily at academic institutions. It is the basic science supported by MDA at these institutions that has led to the discoveries now being applied to the development of effective therapies. The Association is funding studies in genetic-based therapies, stem cell therapy, drug development, muscle and nerve biology, proteomics, muscle and nerve regeneration and differentiation, etc.MDA sponsors research grants in the United States and 15 foreign countries. The Association's research program accounted for some $35.1 million of its expenditures for the calendar year. MDA's Scientific and Medical Advisory Committees, whose members are among the nation's foremost scientists and physicians in the field of neuromuscular disease, carefully review all research supported by the Association. MDA maintains a diverse program of basic research which advances investigations of possible treatments for neuromuscular diseases, muscle function, regulation and regeneration; biochemical changes involved in muscle disease; the genetics of neuromuscular disease; and the interaction of nerve and muscle. This work is necessary in order to provide a sound scientific foundation from which practical advances against disease can arise. Additionally, the Association's Translational Research Program is focused on milestone driven contracts with the biotech industry, pharmaceutical companies and academic investigators for research that is directly relevant to bringing new therapies to market. Advisors to MDA's Translational Research Program include a number of top neuromuscular disease researchers, as well as representatives of NIH and industry. Searching for the Causes of Neuromuscular DiseaseThe majority of the neuromuscular diseases covered by MDA's programs, including all of the muscular dystrophies, are genetic disorders. In 1986, MDA researchers ushered in a new era in neuromuscular disease research with the identification of the gene that when defective causes Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies. This gene, the largest human gene ever discovered, was the first major human disease gene isolated without prior knowledge of its protein product. MDA has been in the forefront of research on inherited diseases with an ever-expanding list of new genetic research projects and an extensive list of genes that have been found defective in inherited neuromuscular disorders. MDA-funded scientists continue to investigate the causes of neuromuscular disease.Search for TreatmentFindings from early research supported by MDA served as the scientific basis for approval by the FDA of the first drug available for prescription use for ALS. This drug, called riluzole, works by partially blocking the natural substance glutamate. MDA researchers worked on the glutamate theory that led to riluzole's development. Over the years a number of measures have been adopted to treat neuromuscular diseases including, nutrition, bracing, physical therapy and drugs such as prednisone. Several measures are used to successfully manage these disorders. Plasma exchange is a life saving measure for myasthenia gravis, prednisone slows the progression of muscle weakness in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and L-carnitine is used in the treatment of carnitine deficiency.MDA sponsored early research in Pompe's disease and also helped support clinical testing of Myozyme, which was developed by Genzyme Corp. of Cambridge, Mass. Myozyme is the first FDA-approved therapy for a genetic disorder in MDA's program. Recent Research AccomplishmentsThe first U.S. human gene therapy trial of Biostrophin targeting Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), launched in March 2006 at Columbus Children's Hospital (now Nationwide Children's Hospital in Ohio) in boys with DMD, have shown that the procedure, in a single muscle, is safe and well tolerated. Gene therapy studies for DMD have advanced to a second phase - large animal studies in canine and non-human primate DMD models to test the safety and effectiveness of delivering Biostrophin, to replace the faulty gene in DMD, to an entire limb. Gene therapy is also under development for limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD). A clinical trial of gene therapy for type 2D LGMD, caused by a deficiency of the protein alpha-sarcoglycan, proved the therapy to be safe and well-tolerated when injected into a single foot muscle. The treatment also resulted in a significant increase in the amount of alpha-sarcoglycan protein in the gene-injected muscle. MDA continues to support studies for development of gene transfer via the bloodstream aimed at delivering the treatment to multiple muscles simultaneously, which will be necessary for clinical benefit. Exon skipping coaxes muscle cells to ignore, or "skip over," a flawed section of genetic instructions for the dystrophin protein, which is missing in people with DMD. Data from several studies demonstrated that this strategy has great therapeutic potential. MDA funded much of the early work that led to exon skipping drugs that are now in human clinical trials, and MDA continues to develop the strategy for DMD. The first U.S. human clinical trial for exon skipping in DMD began in 2010 and a second trial will get underway in 2011. Researchers found a critical key to blocking the cause of myotonic muscular dystrophy, the most common form of muscular dystrophy, by fooling defective genetic material in a discovery that could have major implications for finding a treatment for the disease. They used a synthetic molecule, called a morpholino antisense oligonucleotide, CAG25, to block disease-causing genetic instructions in cells. The CAG25 released proteins held hostage in muscle and other cells by defective RNA, a byproduct of the flawed genetic instructions. The blocked proteins resumed their normal functions and the muscles showed improvement in molecular structure and function. Planning for human clinical trials of this therapeutic strategy for myotonic muscular dystrophy is underway. In ALS, therapies are under development to target the underlying cause in an inherited form of the disorder. Some familial cases of ALS are caused by mutations in the superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) gene, resulting in the production of SOD1 protein that is toxic to motor neurons. Investigators at Washington University (St. Louis, MO) and Massachusetts General Hospital (Boston, MA) are testing whether antisense oligonucleotides, developed by ISIS Pharmaceuticals of Carlsbad, CA, can inhibit the toxic SOD1 protein. Human trials began in 2010. MDA and the ALS Therapy Development Institute (ALS TDI) continued to work together in 2010 and the Association provided the institution a new $2.5 million milestone-driven grant as part of the drug discovery partnership begun in 2007. In 2010, ALS TDI's leading therapeutic candidate was ALSTDI-00846, a molecule that blocks a key immune pathway identified as being overactive in some cases of ALS. MDA's Clinical Research Network, which includes five sites focused on DMD and five on ALS continued several clinical studies. The DMD network is developing clinical trial outcome measures for very young children as well as those no longer walking with DMD. In the future, these populations, typically excluded from clinical trials, will have the opportunity to participate in trials of promising therapies. In addition, the DMD investigators are conducting a study of the natural history of cardiomyopathy i
