Description

The Mentored Clinical Research Award (MCRA) for new investigators is funded by a grant from the Parkinson's Foundation (PF) to the Parkinson Study Group (PSG). The PF collaborates with the PSG to encourage the professional and scientific development of young investigators on their path to independence. To this end, this grant supports a new investigator for a one year project in patient oriented research in Parkinson disease (PD) or other parkinsonian disorders. The new investigator works under the mentorship of an experienced investigator. Training should enhance the junior clinical research skills. The research plan should address unmet needs of people living with PD, have the potential for broad application among the PD community, and lead to advances in clinically relevant treatment options. Eligibility Appropriate applicants for the MCRA are clinicians and scientists within 5 years of completing formal training (this includes PhD professionals working in the field of PD). Fellows may apply. To be eligible applicants must be within 5 years of completing their residency or PhD by the award period start date of July 1, 2020.
