applications for research into any aspect of human health, including Parkinson’s disease
and related illness. It is not usual practice to ring-fence funds for particular topics
or conditions. 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
health and care services, value for money and scientific quality.</p><p> </p><p>The
