At Parkinson Canada, we believe in the power of partnership—where people with Parkinson’s, care partners, and researchers work together to shape the future of Parkinson’s research. This approach helps: Ensure research reflects real-world needs and priorities Create mutual understanding between the community and researchers Support more relevant, inclusive, and impactful outcomes We do this by supporting training, resources, and meaningful opportunities for collaboration. What is looks like in real life 1 Knowledge translation grants We fund researchers to help embed the lived experience of Parkinson’s into their work—whether through advisory roles, co-creation of resources, or shared planning of studies. Learn about funding opportunities 2 Patient engagement in research workshops Since 2024, we’ve hosted in-person and virtual workshops bringing researchers and the Parkinson’s community together.These events are designed to: Share real-life perspectives from both sides Identify barriers to participation Provide training and tools for researchers Spark new collaborations Upcoming workshops Read about our past workshops 3 Research days We collaborate with institutions to bring Parkinson’s research directly to the community. These events showcase emerging research and encourage open dialogue. Want to host a Research Day?We’re seeking partners to co-create these events across Canada Get in touch!
