Trainee Advisory Council 

The Trainee Advisory Council (TAC) is a volunteer panel of earlycareer researchers that reviews applications for the Graduate Student Award, Postdoctoral Research Fellowship, Clinician Scientist Research Fellowship, and Clinical Movement Disorder Fellowship. TAC members assess applications for scientific excellence, applicant potential, and relevance to Parkinson’s research, contributing to a rigorous and objective peer review process.
