Funded research

Parkinson Canada strives to make an impact on the Parkinson’s research community. By funding meaningful and innovative projects with promising young researchers in their professional development, Parkinson Canada aims to encourage continued growth and revitalization in the fields of Parkinson’s research in Canada.


Parkinson Canada would like to congratulate the applicants who have been successful in funding in our latest research competition and acknowledge the hard work and dedication to Parkinson’s research for all of our applicants.

This year, a record-high amount of over $2.6 million in research funding was approved for 33 research grants and fellowship awards. These funded projects will help in the development of new techniques and biomarkers to detect Parkinson’s, testing novel drugs and therapeutics to slow or stop Parkinson’s in its tracks, and will provide crucial training support to increase the number of dedicated Parkinson’s researchers and physicians across the country.

We look forward to continuing to engage with the exceptional Parkinson’s research community across Canada and are excited to see the new applications in the upcoming 2027 competition.
