Today, 1 in 5 children suffer a severe mental impairment and very few are ever evaluated for immune-mediated inflammatory brain diseases. They exist to spread awareness of neuroimmune disorders, advocate for quality patient care, and support data-driven research that will ultimately lead to effective treatments and cures for these disorders. To accomplish this, PRAI raises and deploys donations to educate physicians and clinicians, fund groundbreaking scientific studies, enable parents to contribute to the scientific process through registering information in data repositories for trend analysis, and engaging in pilot projects through patient-centered research initiatives.
