The CMTA supports development of new drugs to treat CMT to improve the quality of life for people with the condition, and, ultimately, to find a cure. OPAI is the leading national organization in India devoted to improving quality of life for persons with disabilities through innovative O&P services.

In partnership with the Center for O&P Learning & Evidence-Based Practice, AOPA has unveiled its 2017 Requests for Proposals (RFPs) inviting submissions for O&P research. AOPA will fund up to four pilot grants in 16 potential areas for up to $15,000 each.
