What we believe
You can make better choices for managing your health when you have a basic understanding of the pros and cons of treatment options. We believe that simple, inexpensive options are often the best — but may be neglected or overlooked by researchers, pharmaceutical companies, and care providers because of a lack of profit potential and investment.

Our goal
The Parsemus Foundation’s goal is to advance innovative and neglected medical research. We focus on supporting small proof-of-concept studies and then pursuing press coverage of the results, so that the advances change treatment practice rather than disappearing into the scientific literature. Many of the studies we support involve low-cost approaches that are not under patent. From support for new male contraceptives to research on the use of existing medicines to treat COVID-19, the Parsemus Foundation aims to improve human health with affordable and accessible options.
