Parkinson Canada is pleased to offer its graduate student award program to encourage promising young scientists to enter the field of Parkinson's research and to invest in research training that offers promise for future work in the area of Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson Canada wishes to encourage continued growth and revitalization in the fields of Parkinson’s research in Canada by supporting talented young scientists and providing students with an opportunity to enter into the area of Parkinson’s research during the early stages of their training. Parkinson Canada intends to provide awards in the amount of up to $20,000 per year over a two-year term, to outstanding applicants who meet the eligibility criteria of the Program and who have been approved by its Advisory Council. As incentive and recognition for the award, it is encouraged that supervisors will also contribute to the award. Funds awarded under the Program are to be used to cover salaries for research training in Parkinson's-related areas.
Through this initiative, Parkinson Canada invites studentship applications from applicants committed to conducting research in areas relevant to the cure, cause, prevention, improved treatment and/or understanding of Parkinson’s disease and related disorders including: Multiple System Atrophy (MSA), Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) and other Parkinson’s conditions. Parkinson Canada encourages applications from the fields of biomedicine, health services and systems research, population studies, and clinical research. This initiative is consistent with, and reflects, Parkinson Canada’s commitment to support innovation and renewal in the national Parkinson’s research field and to foster international leadership potential in this area.
The Program is available only to those students engaged in full-time research training in a graduate school. At the time of application, all candidates must be enrolled in graduate study program at the PhD level.
