Description
The Stanley Fahn Junior Faculty Award, administered by the Parkinson’s Foundation, is designed to support promising early-career scientists as they transition from mentored to independent research in Parkinson’s disease (PD). The award aims to bridge the funding gap that can force talented researchers out of the field, providing essential support to help recipients secure independent funding and establish themselves as leaders in Parkinson’s research. The Foundation seeks innovative clinical, pre-clinical, or basic research proposals that offer novel hypotheses or inventive methodologies to advance the understanding of PD.
