The Michael J. Fox Foundation is dedicated to finding a cure for Parkinson’s disease through an aggressively funded research agenda and to ensuring the development of improved therapies for those living with Parkinson’s today.
The foundation invites applications for the Edmond J. Safra Fellowship in Movement Disorders, which aims to grow the global base of movement disorder specialists (neurologists with additional training in Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders) by training movement disorder clinician-researchers who can provide expert care and lead scientific advances. The program will award eight two-year fellowships of $180,000 each to academic centers to identify and train a new movement disorder clinician-researcher. Funds may cover the fellow’s stipend, benefits, and travel allowance, as well as coursework, conferences, and other relevant educational and training opportunities.
Please contact Lynn Wong if you are interested in applying to this opportunity.
