We fund researchers ranging from early career to established scientists, and from basic researchers to clinicians who treat patients daily. The **[Scientific Advisory Board](/advancing-research/finding-cure/scientific-advisory-board "Scientific Advisory Board")**, comprised of leading Parkinson's basic, clinical, and translational scientists, guides these programs. The Parkinson’s Foundation gratefully acknowledges the contribution of our [**grant reviewers**](/advancing-research/finding-cure/scientific-advisory-board#reviewcommittee "Scientific Advisory Board"), who help ensure that the research we support is of the highest integrity and greatest impact on the lives of people with Parkinson's disease (PD). If you are a Parkinson's disease researcher, clinician or fellow, we encourage you to learn more about the application processes for the following Parkinson's Foundation programs.
