Description
The Parkinson’s Foundation Research Centers initiative provides substantial, multi-year funding to institutions forming interdisciplinary teams to tackle the most challenging problems in Parkinson’s disease (PD). This program is designed to catalyze innovative, synergistic research that combines basic and clinical science, aiming for transformative advances in PD understanding, prevention, treatment, and care. Teams are expected to address critical barriers in the field through collaborative projects that leverage diverse expertise and resources.
Projects should align with the Foundation’s mission to prevent, control, and ultimately cure Parkinson’s disease, and must demonstrate potential for significant impact. The program especially encourages proposals that integrate basic and clinical research, foster new collaborations, and propose high-risk, high-reward approaches.
