The Parkinson’s Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowships are two-year fellowships for scientists fresh from their PhD training or neurology residence. The fellowships support training at major research institutions to help these scientists become independent Parkinson’s disease researchers. 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. Applicants must name an individual who will serve as their research mentor and supervisor. Please include a clear indication of mentor involvement in the proposed project.
The Basic Scientists applicants must be within five years of receiving their Ph.D. at the time the award starts (i.e., on or after August 1, 2021). The Clinical Neurologists must possess an M.D. or equivalent and be within three years of having completed a residency in neurology at the time the award starts (i.e., on or after August 1, 2023). The Foundation has a policy of extending an applicant’s eligibility for postdoctoral fellowships due to formal periods of leave (e.g., maternity, paternity, adoptive, family care, military, or extended sick leave). The maximum period that a nominee’s eligibility may be extended is two (2) years. This program is open to both national and international applicants. If awarded, a Postdoctoral Fellow must commit 80% of their effort to the Parkinson's Foundation-funded project. Additionally, fellows may not concurrently hold an overlapping award from another source.
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
