The Department of Defense (DoD) offers the Parkinson’s Research Program Early Investigator Research Award, designed to advance Parkinson’s disease (PD) research by supporting individuals in the early stages of their scientific careers. This grant is for aspiring investigators demonstrating strong potential and commitment to a career at the forefront of PD research. While prior PD research experience is not mandatory, clinical fellows should specialize in movement disorders. A crucial aspect of this award requires applicants to work under the guidance of an experienced mentor. Mentors must possess a strong track record in PD research, active funding, publications, and a proven dedication to fostering the Principal Investigator’s development towards research independence.
