Through this initiative, PSC invites grant applications from professionals committed to conducting novel, emerging, or innovative research in areas relevant to the cure, cause, prevention, improved treatment and/or understanding of Parkinson’s disease and its implications on society. This program is, therefore, a strategic initiative to encourage established investigators to enter into the study of Parkinson’s disease and perform research in new, specifically targeted, high priority areas.

By committing 25-50% of its annual research budget to Pilot Projects, PSC is positioning itself as a committed supporter of Canadian research potential. Further support is provided to existing funded projects by offering the possibility to renew funding upon the successful applicant’s re-application to the program. PSC anticipates that funded projects in this program may lead to subsequent substantial grants from larger granting institutions. This critical “seed money” aims to foster new development and “grow” new ideas and approaches to Parkinson’s research.
