Research grants

 

The PDS supports a wide range of high quality biomedical, health and social care and social policy research, and encourages funding applications from all sectors to undertake research related to improving the quality of life for people with Parkinson's.

 

We accept UK applications only (applicants must be affiliated with a UK institution), and only provide funds for research related to Parkinson's. 

 

As a member of the Association of Medical Research Charities, the administrative and review processes that we follow are rigorous and ensure that only the best quality research is funded by the Society.

 

Applying for grants

 

To apply for one of our grants, an application form must be completed, including a full justification for the amount of money required. A summary of the application in plain English, to be understandable by a lay audience, is also requested within the form. Once the application forms are received, an extensive review process begins. This review process takes into account the viewpoints of a number of different people, both specialist and lay. A decision on funding is ultimately reached by the Board of Trustees based on the recommendations made by the various review panels.
