Parkinson’s Disease Foundation / American Parkinson Disease Association (PDF-APDA) – Summer Student Fellowship Program
In 2015, the Parkinson’s Foundation and the American Parkinson Disease Association (APDA) partnered to expand the foundation’s existing Summer Student Fellowships Program, which supports students – from advanced undergraduates to medical students – in their pursuit of Parkinson’s-related summer research projects. The goal of the Parkinson’s Foundation–APDA Summer Student Fellowships is to cultivate students’ early interest in helping to solve, treat and end Parkinson’s and providing the tools they need to transition into leaders in the field.
Fellows work under the close supervision of a sponsor who is an expert in the Parkinson’s community and oversees the project.
