Description: |
The International Research Grants Program (IRGP) is designed to promote innovative research that has a high potential to significantly advance the knowledge of Parkinson's disease (PD) but little likelihood of securing funding through more traditional sources. Research supported by the IRGP must be directly relevant to the treatment and/or understanding of Parkinson's disease. Successful IRGP projects are: Novel research hypotheses of Parkinson's disease; Inventive in terms of methodology or approach; and Clinical, preclinical, or basic research proposals that will directly impact Parkinson's disease or its treatment. |

Application Details: |
By supporting novel, "high risk/high reward" research, the goal of the IRGP is to enable investigators to demonstrate the feasibility of their ideas while generating preliminary data necessary for the support of future funding. The IRGP is open to applicants both nationally and internationally, possessing postdoctoral training or a medical degree, with clinical, preclinical or basic research proposals that will directly impact Parkinson's disease or its treatment. Preference will be given to scientists who are at an early stage in their professional careers. All applications must be submitted online through the PDF website at grants.pdf.org; no paper copies will be accepted. Submissions for this program are due by 5:00 PM ET on Tuesday, February 1, 2011. Applicants can review PDF's 2011 application instructions and checklist document for further information.INDIRECT COSTS OF 10% MUST BE INCLUDED IN THE PROJECT BUDGET |
