MDA has long had a worldwide impact. Since 1951, MDA has funneled almost $50 million to researchers in 36 countries on six continents. And many times that amount has been awarded in MDA research grants in the United States.

Researchers in the following countries have been part of MDA's worldwide search for treatments and cures for neuromuscular diseases:
Argentina
Australia
Austria
Belgium
Brazil
Canada
Chile
Cyprus
Czechoslovakia

Researchers in these countries have played starring roles in MDA's research progress, including recent breakthroughs in ALS, Duchenne muscular dystrophy and spinal muscular atrophy.

MDA's commitment to supporting the world's top scientists in the field, and its emphasis on collaboration among investigators, puts the search for cures and treatments on the fast track.

Like MDA's research program, MDA's World Wide Web site also works year-round, around the clock, around the world. Internet users anywhere have access to the latest information about neuromuscular diseases and MDA's programs.
