Funding Opportunities
Objective:
This program seeks to fund research to investigate occupational therapy interventions in Parkinson's disease.
The Occupational Therapy in Parkinson’s Disease Intervention Research Program is a collaboration between the American Occupational Therapy Foundation and The Michael J. Fox Foundation. It is open to U.S.-based researchers or credentialed occupational therapists employed at a non-profit organization (public or private). Its purpose is to develop evidence to enhance the delivery of effective occupational therapy to patients, families and caregivers living with Parkinson’s.
What Fits:
Projects must reflect the AOTF’s research priorities, which are:
- Health behaviors to prevent and manage chronic conditions
- Functional cognition
- Safety and injury prevention in home, clinical and community settings
- Technology and environmental supports in home and community
- Development and transitions for individuals and families
- Emotional and physiological influences
- Family and caregiver needs
- Health care experience: access, care coordination, utilization
