Huntington's disease
The largest funder of Huntington's disease research globally, is the Cure Huntington's Disease Initiative Foundation (CHDI), a US non-profit biomedical foundation that aims to "rapidly discover and develop drugs that delay or slow Huntington's disease". CHDI was formerly known as the High Q Foundation. In 2006, it spent $50 million on Huntington's disease research. CHDI collaborates with many academic and commercial laboratories globally and engages in oversight and management of research projects as well as funding. Many organizations exist to support and inform those affected by HD, including the Huntington's Disease Association in the UK.
