Pilot Project Program

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.
