Parkinson's Research Initiative Fund

The Universities of Edinburgh and Dundee have come together to accelerate access to transformative clinical trials and translational research for people with Parkinson’s. Our vision is shaped and informed by extensive interaction with our local community. Everyone with Parkinson’s in South East Scotland will be invited to join a clinical trials platform called CARE-PD. This unique resource will capture a wealth of data about each individual which will inform our understanding of the causes and progression of the condition. Importantly, it will build a database of people who can join clinical trials of novel Parkinson’s therapies. While the CARE-PD platform will be developed and piloted in Lothian and Tayside, our ambition is to integrate with other health boards in the future and create a Scotland-wide health informatics platform for Parkinson’s.
