Classic Motor Working Group
| Classic Motor Working Group formed 2007 - | |
| Led by: Tanya Simuni, Chair; Alberto Espay, Co-chair; Susan Fox, Co-chair |
|
|
Purpose:The primary purpose of the Classic Motor Working Group is to generate proposals for new research studies, either interventional or observational, as well as retrospective data mining projects. |
|
| Each working group has a mandate statement that describes the goals of the working group, potential scope of working group activity, examples of ideas for projects, and procedures for member initiated proposals. A pre-proposal request form is provided to submit preliminary proposals/ideas to working groups to provide feedback and discussions that will help the investigator to improve the plan and potentially to prepare a more complete proposal for submission to the PSG Scientific Review Committee or for a submission to other funding agencies.
