Description
This award provides bridge funding for early-career faculty members engaged in clinical, pre-clinical, or basic research on Parkinson’s disease. The goal is to retain talented junior investigators in the Parkinson’s field and support their transition to research independence, particularly by helping them secure major external funding (such as an NIH R01). Projects must propose novel hypotheses or inventive methodologies with the potential to advance the understanding or treatment of Parkinson’s disease.
