Parkinson’s Foundation – Impact Awards
Overview
The Parkinson’s Foundation Impact Awards support innovative projects from their inception, providing the necessary resources to maximize their impact on the Parkinson’s community. The science underlying the Parkinson’s Foundation Impact Award projects should be “outside the box” with the goal of bringing new light to the biology of Parkinson’s disease (PD), a new approach to PD research, or testing a truly novel therapeutic idea. Projects should be based on groundbreaking or unconventional ideas
Funding Value and Duration
USD $150,000 for 12-18 months
Eligibility Criteria
The Parkinson’s Foundation Impact Awards are intended for researchers both established and new to the field of PD.
