Lived Experience Expert Reviewers

Lived experience expert reviewers are volunteers with lived experience of Parkinson’s who bring a unique and valuable perspective to Parkinson Canada’s funding decisions. They review the lay summary and the project Impact statements and contribute 20% of the overall application score, helping ensure funded research reflects the real-world needs, priorities, and experiences of people affected by Parkinson’s in Canada.
