Part the Cloud has surpassed another major milestone. Since its inception, PTC has raised more than $65 million for Alzheimer’s research thanks to our generous supporters and community.

Part the Cloud has an extensive application and review process before grants are awarded and projects are officially funded. Each application undergoes a rigorous peer review process from top experts in the field in order to propel innovative research forward. One reviewer provides his perspective on how Part the Cloud accelerates progress.

"This program's proposals really knocks innovation out of the ballpark by exploring truly novel mechanisms. Many proposals are way outside the 'amyloid' box, and I think this is exactly what you were hoping for in PTC."

• -Paul B. Rosenberg, MD, Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine
