Canadian Open Parkinson Network (C-OPN) Data Challenge 

Please refer to the Request for Applications for additional details. 

Brain Canada and Parkinson Canada are pleased to launch the 2025 Canadian Open Parkinson Network (C-OPN) Data Challenge — a funding opportunity designed to accelerate Parkinson’s research by leveraging the available C-OPN de-identified database, including imaging and genotyping datasets. 

To date, C-OPN has recruited over 2,300 participants and created a large nationwide database that includes de-identified participant data concerning demographics, symptoms, treatment approaches, standardized clinical assessments, neuroimaging data, genotyping for Parkinson’s gene variants, and a biobank of samples for further analysis of DNA, PBMCs and blood serum from study participants.
