Description
The Conference Awards program from the Parkinson's Foundation provides funding to support conferences and meetings that bring together experts to address unsolved clinical or basic science questions relevant to Parkinson's disease. The goal is to advance Parkinson's research by facilitating collaboration, identifying emerging research questions, planning clinical trials, or standardizing research methods. Applicants are strongly encouraged to include community engagement components—such as involving people living with Parkinson's—and all conferences funded through this program must make their results publicly available.
