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. 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.
IRGP awards provide a maximum of $75,000 in direct costs per year for two years (compared to the previous maximum of $50,000 for only one year of research), subject to review of first year progress.
