Research and Innovation directorate

Our Research and Innovation directorate is responsible for the preparation and implementation of the charity's research strategy and agenda.

The directorate deals with the co-ordination and management of our research funding process, and for ensuring that each grant application undergoes a rigorous assessment process during which relevant experts, including people affected by Parkinson's, review the applications.

It is also accountable for all communication aspects of the charity's research and development, keeping people informed of the results of research that we fund and ongoing research into Parkinson's from around the world.
