Interested applicants are invited to submit funding proposals for research projects that will gain new
insights into Parkinson?s diagnosis, progression or advancements in care. Up to 4 funding
proposals from the data challenge will be eligible for funding of up to $50,000 each, to
support these exploratory research projects, with a trajectory for further research studies
