Description
The Summer Student Fellowships program from the Parkinson's Foundation provides advanced undergraduate and medical students with the opportunity to conduct Parkinson’s-related research during the summer. The primary aim is to foster early interest in Parkinson’s research and support the development of future leaders in the field. Fellows engage in hands-on, mentored research projects in clinical or laboratory settings under the guidance of an expert sponsor within the Parkinson's research community. The program emphasizes skill development, scientific inquiry, and contribution to the broader goal of solving, treating, and ultimately ending Parkinson’s disease.
