National Research Program
| In 2003, after extensive consultation with scientists and laypersons from across the country, we proudly launched our newly revitalized research program, refocusing our investment with two new grant categories to encourage development of new ideas and emerging researchers. This, we believe, will enhance our support for the best Parkinson's research and researchers across Canada. Parkinson Society Canada announced its commitment to fund seven research grants, six fellowships and three studentships over the July 2009 - June 2011 Research Program cycle, for a total of $907,886 over the next two years. This is in addition to the $355,000 already committed to support existing 2008-2010 cycle awards in their second year. Parkinson Society Southern Alberta will be funding the Graduate Student Award of Mr. Calvin Young, University of Calgary, for an additional commitment of $30,000 over the next two years". Parkinson Society Canada is more committed than ever to do more to support research, to search for the causes, to improve treatments, and to uncover the cure. We are with you every step of the way. |
