Funding Details
Requirements: The Basic Scientists applicants must be within five years of receiving their PhD at the time the award starts. The Clinical Neurologists must possess an MD or equivalent and be within three years of having completed a residency in neurology at the time the award starts. This program is open to both national and international applicants. If awarded, a Postdoctoral Fellow must commit 80 percent of their effort to the Parkinson's Foundation-funded project.
Applications from groups that have been historically underrepresented or excluded in the scientific workforce, including but not limited to racial and ethnic groups, sexual orientation and gender identities, individuals with mental/physical disabilities, and those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, are especially encouraged.
Other info: The Postdoctoral Fellowships for Basic Scientists are two-year fellowships for young scientists, fresh from their PhD training or neurology residency, to study at major research institutions. The Parkinson’s Foundation seeks research proposals from promising early-career scientists that will directly impact the understanding of Parkinson’s disease or its treatment.
