The Paul Oreffice Innovations in Care Awards provide pilot funding for clinically-oriented research projects that explore and test new models of care delivery for people living with Parkinson's disease (PD). The program aims to identify, support, and build evidence for innovative practices that can enhance health outcomes and quality of life for individuals with PD.
