Parkinson’s Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship for Basic Scientists
The Postdoctoral Fellowships for Basic Scientists are two-year fellowships for young scientists, fresh from their PhD training, to study at major research institutions. The Parkinson’s Foundation seeks research proposals from promising early-career scientists that will directly impact the understanding of Parkinson’s disease or its treatment.

$57,000 annually (to be used as salary) as well as a $5,000 annual research allowance to be used at the Fellow’s discretion, with sponsor/mentor approval, to pay for items such as books, training courses, travel costs (up to $2,000), or a computer. There is no provision for the deduction of postdoctoral taxes, institutional overhead or fees. We may approve $3,000 of the research allowance to defray the health insurance costs paid by the Fellow if the Fellow sends a written request.
- The applicant must be within five years of receiving his or her PhD at the time the award starts and must name an individual who will serve as his or her research mentor and supervisor. This program is open to both national and international applicants. If awarded, a Postdoctoral Fellow must commit 90 percent of his or her effort to the Parkinson’s Foundation-funded project.
- Applications from groups that have been historically underrepresented or excluded in the scientific workforce, including but not limited to racial and ethnic groups, sexual orientation and gender identities, individuals with mental/physical disabilities, and those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, are especially encouraged.
