Nearly 10 million people worldwide live with Parkinson's, with numbers expected to increase by 20% by 2030. The need to solve PD is acute and requires a continued influx of talented scientists dedicated to PD research. The Parkinson's Foundation identifies and supports talented postdoctoral fellows who have demonstrated a vision to help us solve, treat, and end PD to ensure the PD community has the ideas and people necessary to address the causes, symptom progression, consequences and treatments of this disease. The Foundation aims to help these young scientists transition and succeed in independent careers to maximize their impact in PD research.

Opportunities:

• Launch Award: four-year, two-stage award for outstanding postdoctoral researchers that will enable them to complete needed mentored training and transition promptly to independent research careers in PD.
• Postdoctoral Fellowships for Basic Scientists: two-year fellowships for young scientists fresh from their PhD training.
• Postdoctoral Fellowships for Clinical Neurologists: two-year fellowships for young scientists fresh from their neurology residencies.
• Melvin Yahr Early Career Award in Movement Disorders Research: award created in honor of Dr. Melvin Yahr to support neurologists after residency.
• Summer Student Fellowships: fellowships for 10 weeks of clinical or laboratory work with a $4,000 award.
• Visiting Scholar Awards: $4,000 stipend to support the travel and housing of scholar while
