GP2 is accepting applications from supervisors who identify as belonging to an underrepresented group in Parkinson’s disease (PD) research to apply for funding for a trainee who also identifies as belonging to an underrepresented group to pursue a PhD in the genetics of PD or a related subject.

Applications may be submitted with or without a potential trainee having already been identified. Overseas training (where possible) and cross-institutional collaboration with other GP2 member laboratories during the studentship is strongly recommended to maximize the benefit to GP2. Additional funds can be made available.
