Update 1: De subsidie

26 juni 2020


Onderzoek doen naar omwegen bij cognitieve obstakels

Subsidie toegekend, aanvraag gedeeld

Ruim een jaar geleden, formuleerde ik een persoonlijke missie:

Als ik iets tot mijn persoonlijke missie heb gemaakt, is het wel dat ik omweggetjes bij neuropsychologische symptomen wil verzamelen en aansluitend ook hoop om te toveren tot concrete hulpmiddelen voor patiënten en hun naasten. Mentale freezing is diffuser, minder concreet, minder bespreekbaar, minder onderzocht, minder zichtbaar en ook simpelweg minder sexy dan motorische freezing. Dat is onterecht, want de impact van mentale freezing op de levenskwaliteit is enorm. Je kunt er tenslotte van verdwijnen als mens | Marina Noordegraaf, 29 mei 2019, in een blog over depressie en parkinson  

Afgelopen maandag – op 22 juni 2020 – kregen mijn medeaanvragers Edwin Barentsen, Ingrid Sturkenboom, Esther Steultjens en ikzelf het goede nieuws. De Parkinson Vereniging heeft besloten onze subsidieaanvraag te honoreren! Ik beschouw het als een grote eer dat ons project een van de gelukkigen is. Het vertrouwen dat ons is geschonken en de verantwoordelijkheden die daarbij horen, neem ik met plechtigheid op me.

De aanvraag in een alinea

In een alinea zou ik onze aanvraag als volgt samenvatten:

Een aanzienlijk deel van mensen met parkinson heeft last van obstakels in het cognitief functioneren, vaak al voor de diagnose. Denk daarbij aan problemen met aandacht en concentratie, geheugen, snelheid van denken en handelen, overzicht houden en planning, prikkelverwerking en het uitvoeren van (dubbel)taken. In ons onderzoek, willen wij de collectieve wijsheid van mensen met parkinson en hun partners in het omzeilen van dit soort cognitieve obstakels zichtbaar maken en benutten. Dat doen we door de gebruikte strategieën op te halen, te ordenen en vervolgens weer uit te delen in de vorm van een praktische zelfhulptool.

Ons onderzoek en open science

Wetenschap gaat niet alleen over wat je onderzoekt, maar ook over hoe je onderzoekt. Dan doel ik niet alleen op de onderzoeksmethoden, maar ook op de mate van openheid die je betracht in het communiceren over het onderzoeksproces en de onderzoeksresultaten. Zoals trouwe lezers van dit blog weten, ben ik een groot voorstander van open science. Ik ben van plan dit onderzoek zo open mogelijk te maken en daar hoort – om te beginnen – het open delen van de onderzoeksaanvraag bij. (Als je naar beneden scrollt, verschijnt de gehele aanvraag vanzelf).

Voorbeelden van open science. Klik op de illustratie voor de (vergrote) PDF-versie.

Ik verwacht tijdens dit onderzoek niet alleen veel te leren over het omzeilen van cognitieve obstakels, maar ook over open science. Nu al ervaar ik een mismatch tussen het huidige systeem van subsidieaanvragen en open science. Het krijgen van een subsidie is namelijk een zeer competitieve business en dat past eigenlijk niet erg goed. Open science gaat namelijk over de meerwaarde van delen en samenwerken, van het bewust zoeken naar kruisbestuivingen, van het uitgaan van vertrouwen, in plaats van het opzoeken van de concurrentie en het meegaan in de angst dat iemand er wel eens met je idee vandoor zou kunnen gaan. Maar voor je het weet, ding je zelf mee naar de prijs … net als ikzelf … en behoor je tot de gelukkigen  …

Echter, ik weet maar al te goed welke geweldige voorstellen de eindstreep niet hebben gehaald. En dat laat me absoluut niet koud. Waarom zij niet en wij wel? Er gaat ontzettend veel waardevolle onderzoekstijd en -geld verloren in het schrijven van aanvragen die nooit gerealiseerd zullen worden. Je zou denken dat dit nu eenmaal niet anders kan omdat er maar een bepaalde hoeveelheid geld te verdelen is. Maar dat is niet perse waar. Onderzoek toont aan dat een meer gelijkmatige verdeling van onderzoeksgeld over alle stakeholders mogelijk is en grote voordelen kan opleveren (Vaessen, 2017).

Gelukkig delen steeds meer onderzoekers openlijk hun subsidievoorstellen, ook degenen die niet gehonoreerd zijn. Dat heeft uiteenlopende voordelen  zoals:

  • Het potentieel voor interactie en samenwerking neemt toe en daarmee het innovatiepotentieel;
  • Het wordt makkelijker om op afgewezen voorstellen voort te bouwen;
  • De beweringen uit diverse onderzoeksvoorstellen kunnen met behulp van data mining geanalyseerd worden wat op zichzelf nieuwe waardevolle informatie oplevert.

Idealiter had ik het onderzoeksvoorstel nog eerder gedeeld dan nu. Op kleinere schaal is dat wel gebeurd en de voordelen waren evident. Zo kijkt er bij ons een klankboordgroep mee en sommige leden van diezelfde groep dienden hun eigen project in bij de Parkinson Vereniging. Een van hen, dr. Annelien Duits, merkte op dat haar voorstel overlap had met dat van ons en zodoende hebben we naar elkaar verwezen. Hadden we in een nog eerder stadium van elkaars plannen geweten dan hadden we wellicht nog gezamenlijker op kunnen trekken. Co-creatie is nu eenmaal makkelijker als je weet waar anderen mee bezig zijn.

There is room for more transparency in the process of grant review, which would strengthen the case for the efficiency of public spending on research ….. Once a good number of proposals are open, lots of other changes towards openness would follow across the entire research system  | Mietchen, 2014

De aanvraag in haar geheel

En hier is ze dan, voor de liefhebber: de aanvraag in haar geheel (Als je op de link klikt, opent de PDF. Het enige verschil met de originele aanvraag is dat er contactgegevens uit gehaald zijn. Spam krijgt iedereen al genoeg ;)).

Heb je nu al input, ideeën, wensen? Laat het weten!
Verder spreekt de toevoeging ‘Update 1’ in de titel van deze blogpost voor zich:

Reken er maar op dat ik je op de hoogte houd.

    Your website provided us with helpful info to work on. You have performed an impressive task and our entire community
    shall be thankful to you.

  17. Pretty section of content. I just stumbled upon your site and
    in accession capital to assert that I acquire in fact enjoyed
    account your blog posts. Any way I’ll be subscribing
    to your augment and even I achievement you access consistently fast.

  18. However you will study what provides YOU the results and follow the fundamental beginning points under on my suggested dosages. I will include all three SERMs mentioned earlier with two totally different combinations. Most oral cycles also include longer-lasting injectables, so your decision on WHEN to begin PCT should depend upon the longest-lasting compound in your cycle. The typical 2-week wait before starting PCT with SERMs is the best starting point; there are issues to assume about throughout that point. It’s merely a matter of following the recommendation above and making use of dopamine agonists and/or P-5-P B6. The dosage guide above is fitted to Nandrolone doses as much as 200mg, however you might want to extend your dopamine agonist dosage when taking higher doses of steroids.
    Via a complex set of processes in the body, mitochondrial cells could also be enhanced by Stenabolic, particularly in fats cells, the liver, and skeletal muscle. This motion may help with the process of fats getting used as an power source, which can solely end in you burning up extra fat faster without shedding muscle tissue. Cardarine is a PPAR (Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptor) agonist. It’s stylish because of its wonderful fat-burning exercise, which makes it a preferred slicing cycle compound. Lean muscle positive aspects and muscle preservation are the two significant benefits of YK-11, making it a flexible SARM.
    I would aim for at least 12 weeks if muscle development is your main objective; otherwise, it’s not price the cost. For fats loss, general rejuvenation, restoration, and other low-level benefits are your goal? Nevertheless, these using HGH with a longer-term outlook will have a look at utilizing it for six months and past. Yes, it will get very costly, however that’s why I all the time say development hormone is just for THE most serious of customers. HGH supplies a range of advantages that you won’t find with any anabolic steroid.
    As for small esters, if your cycle ends with all small ester based anabolic steroids and you’re only using a SERM you will begin SERM therapy roughly 3 days after your last injection. Conversely, if you’re utilizing hCG, you’ll start hCG remedy three days after your last injection, full it for 10 days after which begin SERM therapy. On average, you can anticipate a achieve of 5 lbs or more in muscle and a small physique fat proportion loss when you eat and practice properly. This stack is so interesting that it’s been put through an official scientific trial.
    In the above instance, if you need simply 10mg, you’d only require 0.5ml from that bottle. The good thing about liquid SARMs is that they make measuring these smaller portions easier, so your dosage should be very correct. Your dosage of YK11 will closely determine your results, and we all know it could trigger a range of unwanted effects, so you’ll have to discover a balance between the outcomes you want and the unwanted effects you want to management. Suppression is most likely going right here, so a testosterone base should be considered. Of interest is how you have to use Ibutamoren as a stand-in for PCT for weeks 9-12, which can assist preserve features.
    Thus, they need to solely be incorporated if customers start to observe early indicators of gynecomastia. The greatest concern we see with the addition of trenbolone is a spike in blood stress. This is as a outcome of it does not convert to estrogen and thus can skew cholesterol ratios.
    Equipoise is an injectable steroid solely, which is often a hurdle for ladies who’ve by no means used injectables before and who prefer the oral decisions of Anavar or Primobolan. You can get away with stacking orals collectively – for instance, Anadrol and Winstrol. I nonetheless largely favor injectables to keep away from hepatotoxicity, Anavar being one exception.
    The use of steroids can outcome in low or even non-existent ranges of natural testosterone that cause testicular atrophy. Injecting HCG through the steroid cycle can prevent and treatment this condition. Including Ibutamoren in a SARMs stack, particularly one taken by heavy weight lifters, will assist improve recovery and guard in opposition to injury, so there’s less chance you’ll be sidelined from a critical damage. This is a wonderful addition to a bulking cycle stack and is perfect for stacking with compounds like RAD-140 and LGD-4033. You might see some reasonable features in energy and endurance on an MK-677 cycle, however it’s not the sturdy level of this compound. If energy gains are a major precedence, many different more effective compounds will considerably enhance power. It is finest taken on an empty abdomen, and if you’re splitting your dose, the best occasions are to take it earlier than breakfast and dinner.
    Dianabol 10 (https://jbhnews.com/phenq-reviews-does-phenq-fat-burner-work-to-lose-weight1/32367/) causes fluid retention as a outcome of aromatization (the conversion of testosterone into estrogen). One Other aspect effect of high estrogen ranges is gynecomastia, i.e., the buildup of breast tissue, in any other case known as manboobs (5). Consequently, we see muscle and power positive aspects being more prominent, with unwanted effects also being more pronounced. The want for PCT is dependent upon a quantity of components, including the kind of steroids used, the dosage, and the cycle’s length. Some less potent steroids could not require it, whereas more powerful ones would possibly seriously disrupt your hormone ranges, making the therapy necessary to assist rebalance them.
    Many customers say they’ll get simply 6 hours of sleep but wake up feeling like they’ve slept for 8 hours. Others say they all of a sudden discover themselves sleeping for 10 hours, which they’ve by no means done earlier than. Finally, the results I can get are my main precedence, and being prepared for unwanted effects comes with the business. Some of my favorite MK-677 stacks are outlined here and embody LGD-4033, Cardarine, RAD-140, and Ostarine.
    You additionally don’t should compromise on Ibutamoren’s well-known anti-inflammatory and healing effects. IBUTA 677 does a superb job at reducing (and even eliminating) post-workout muscle pain AND joint and tendon pain. If you want, it’s possible to use IBUTA 677 purely for its therapeutic and recovery advantages. Research have shown that MK-677 can increase bone mineral density in people, helping cut back fracture danger.
