What the Research Advisory Panel does

The Research Advisory Panel meets twice a year to discuss the 2 rounds of project grant applications received each year.

Panel members also participate in our career development awards, PhD studentships and innovation grant schemes.

Finally, the panel reviews progress and results from projects through the interim and final reports provided by grantholders.

Ensuring accountability and transparency

Sharmila Nebhrajani, chief executive of the AMRC"As a member of the Association of Medical Research Charities (AMRC), Parkinson's UK meets very high standards in the way it gives out its money.

"It funds high quality research, which is carefully peer reviewed, and seeks to involve patients and the public in setting its research priorities.

"Those who donate to the charity can have confidence their money is helping to advance understanding and improve life for people with Parkinson's."
