Description
Parkinson Canada is pleased to offer the Pilot Project Program (the “Program”) as part of its strategic
initiative to encourage investigators (researchers) with faculty or equivalent appointments, to enter
and perform research in new, specifically targeted, high priority areas of Parkinson’s research in
Canada. The Program is available to individuals who propose to conduct this research in the biomedical,
clinical, health services and systems and population areas of Parkinson’s. It is our intent that successful
applicants will utilize the funds awarded to acquire preliminary data leading to development of larger
projects eligible for funding from a major granting agency.
Through this initiative, Parkinson Canada invites grant applications (“Applications”) from applicants
committed to conducting novel, emerging, or innovative research in areas relevant to the cure, cause,
prevention, improved treatment and/or understanding of Parkinson’s disease or related disorders.
