Decide which research projects are relevant to you.
Today, billions of dollars are being invested around the world to better understand the mechanisms underlying Parkinson’s disease, and potentially find new avenues for drug development.
These research projects on causes, biomarkers and medical treatments must be conducted and provide answers as quickly as possible.
While waiting for these results, the disease imposes its burden on patients and their loved ones while there are health interventions that have not yet been deployed but have the potential to improve the situation of those affected.
This year Parkinson Québec will fund pilot projects that have the potential to have a direct and short-term impact on the situation of people affected by the disease.
In order to be funded, these projects will be reviewed by committees of scientific peers, but who better than you to know the relevance of these future projects.
You can become an active member of the Quebec Parkinson’s community by joining the committee of patients/family members who will evaluate the relevance of the submitted projects.
