    The Secretary of Health and Human Services has given the Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) the authority to oversee the National Parkinson's Project, as outlined in the National Plan to End Parkinson's Act. This involves managing efforts to prevent, diagnose, treat, and cure Parkinson's disease, and includes setting up an Advisory Council on Parkinson's Research, Care, and Services. The Secretary will still handle reporting to Congress, making regulations, and appointing Council members, while the NIH can pass on some of its responsibilities under this delegation. This change takes effect immediately.
