The NIHR welcomes funding applications for research into any aspect of human health, including Parkinson's disease. These applications are subject to peer review and judged in open competition, with awards being made on the basis of the importance of the topic to patients and the National Health Service, value for money and scientific quality.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Central Suffolk and North Ipswich answering member printed Dr Daniel Poulter question first answered 07/07/2014 15:58:58 answering member 3932 label Biography information for Dr Dan Poulter
