Parkinson Stiftung is a Germany-based medical research funder focused specifically on Parkinson’s disease, with a strong emphasis on advancing treatment, prevention, and knowledge transfer for patients. It supports early-stage and translational work, especially projects that can produce practical impact in prevention, diagnostics, care delivery, or symptom management, and it often backs collaborative research efforts with international partners. The foundation appears especially interested in innovative, scientifically grounded proposals that can generate proof-of-concept results or seed larger research programs.
Primarily targeted, prize-style grants and invite-only consortium funding. Awards are typically fixed at about $50,000 or $100,000, used as seed or start-up support for early-stage research, with no unsolicited proposals for most programs and recurring deadlines on specific calls (e.g., 31.05.2026).

Watch the foundation’s current call announcements closely, as several programs do not accept unsolicited proposals and instead require applications under a specific invitation or published competition notice. For open calls, be prepared to submit a concise, scientifically rigorous early-stage concept with clear relevance to Parkinson’s prevention, diagnostics, care, or symptom treatment, and note the common deadline of 31 May 2026 for multiple awards.
