Focus Areas
- Biological mechanisms or biomarkers (eg fluid, imaging, tissue, devices) of unmet medical needs that could lead to the development of treatments for PD. Applications focused on laboratory models through to human participants would be considered. Examples of unmet medical needs of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Non-motor symptoms:
- Cognitive
- Psychiatric
- Sleep and circadian rhythms disruptions
- Autonomic
- Motor symptoms:
- Tremor
- Gait and balance
- Dystonia
- Dyskinesia
- Non-motor symptoms:
- Interventions that address unmet medical needs that include both clinical and preclinical models. Examples of interventions of interest include, but are not limited to
- non-pharmacological
- surgical
- non-surgical devices
- non-invasive central nervous system stimulation
- biologicals
- pharmacological
