How to donate to research

Donors like you make new breakthroughs in Parkinson’s disease research possible. Your gift to the Parkinson Canada Research Program increases our research funding pool and enables new projects to get their start. 

Participate in a research study

Many research studies into Parkinson’s disease need human volunteers to answer specific health questions. Your participation in these research studies allows you to access new treatments for Parkinson’s disease before they are widely available and contributes to medical research. 

Participate in a research project with the Canadian Open Parkinson Network

The Canadian Open Parkinson Network (C-OPN) allows clinicians and researchers across Canada to band together and accelerate research into Parkinson’s disease. Your participation is essential to their efforts to develop new, improved, and personalized treatments for Parkinson’s disease.
