Description
The Edmond J. Safra Fellowship in Movement Disorders is run by the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research (MJFF) in collaboration with the Edmond J. Safra Foundation. It funds academic centers to train new movement disorder clinician-researchers over two years, addressing a shortage of neurologists with additional training in Parkinson’s disease and related conditions.
The program aims to expand specialist care and advance scientific research while building an international, collaborative network of future leaders. Training combines clinical care, research opportunities, mentorship and professional development. Centers are asked to demonstrate their experience preparing fellows for productive careers and to highlight distinctive training opportunities, including efforts to advance equitable access and diversity in research, education and clinical care.
