Terrie Cowley , like many advocates fighting for research funding, has a cause.
But with cause comes sacrifice.
Cowley, president and co-founder of the TMJ association, works 30 to 40 hours a week without pay to battle for her cause: temporomandibular joint and muscle disorders .
The TMJ Association is a patient advocacy group, a lobbying voice to Congress for a medical condition that doesn’t receive the widespread attention of afflictions such as diabetes and Parkinson’s disease.

In 2001, University of Minnesota professor Eric Schiffman received $8.2 million. He didn’t win the lottery.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) gave Schiffman the money as a research grant for a seven-year, multi-site study to examine classification schemes for diagnosing joint disorders in the jaw.
Now, seeking an extension for the study, Schiffman, 52, will try to overcome an obstacle that used to work in his favor — his age.
