Parkinson Society British Columbia, alongside several other Canadian partners, is proud to join a new initiative to advance research on Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and other neurodegenerative diseases.
This funding opportunity supports BC-based teams advancing research on Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s diseases (PD), and other neurological disorders with shared mechanisms.
The funding opportunity emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration, knowledge exchange, and building research networks across BC. Proposals may focus on either advancing understanding of AD and PD, developing improved diagnosis and care strategies, or exploring shared mechanisms across neurodegenerative diseases.
Additional top-up funding of $15,000 is available to support embedding people with lived experience in research, ensuring research reflects the perspectives of those most affected.
