1. Create and follow a stroke strategy to solve stroke problems. BHAGs (Big Hairy Audacious Goals) Like repeatable neuroplasticity, repeatable neurogenesis, fatigue, spasticity, aphasia. And since we have no National Stroke Plan or strategy nothing will get done in stroke from the NSA that actually helps survivors.
2. Put out RFPs(Request for Proposals) to researchers to solve those problems.
3. Apply for grant money to fund those research projects.
4. Broadcast the success stories to generate enthusiasm and more foundations that want to get on a successful stroke strategy train. Hit the tipping point for stroke so each stroke success is met with breathless anticipation and media stories.

This post left me wondering if $3.3 million is enough to do anything but provide stroke education. So far I found this to compare to a good foundation:

Since 2000, The Michael J. Fox Foundation has funded more than $450 million to speed a cure for Parkinson's disease.
NSA is not even close!
There are way more people affected by stroke than Parkinson
Someday the NSA big shots will talk to me but until then I will keep telling them they are wrong in everything they do.
