Parkinson's Foundation Independent Investigator Awards
Supports independent investigator scientists through research awards that advance translational, neurological, and disease-focused discovery.
Two awards for independent investigators. The Impact Award provides USD 200,000 over two years for novel, high-risk PD research. The Stanley Fahn Junior Faculty Award provides USD 300,000 over three years for early-career tenure-track faculty at US or Canadian institutions who commit to submitting an NIH R01 on a PD project by year two.
Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
Funds independent Parkinson's disease investigators pursuing bold, high-risk projects with translational clinical relevance.
Funds early-career Parkinson's disease researchers at United States and Canada institutions through independent investigator support.
