Mentoring Committee

What is the PSG Mentoring Committee (MC)?

updated 9.28.2011

The PSG Mentoring Committee (MC) has three main roles. 


1. To solicit, review, and select candidates to receive the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation supported mentored clinical research award.  This is a major award in support of a project that is a practical training ground for individuals to acquire new skills and expertise in clinical research.
           
2. To serve as a resource for individuals who need assistance in formulating and developing protocols to the point where they are ready for review by the Scientific Review Committee. 
           
3. To develop and organize innovative programs to promote interest in Parkinson’s disease research, facilitate the development of mentorship relationships, and increase awareness of resources within the PSG that can provide opportunities for initiating research efforts.

 

The Mentoring Committee oversees the PSG Advisor Program.  Implemented in 2009, the PSG Advisor Program helps new investigators find a local mentor or specific research funding sources for their research.
