The NORD Patient Registry allows patients and advocacy organizations to share experiences, so researchers better understand how to diagnose and treat rare diseases. Our platform is easy-to-use, allowing patients to own their data, benefit from knowledge gained, generate clinical-grade data, and have a voice in the design and scope of research.
The NORD Rare Disease Research Grants Program provides seed-money grants to qualified investigators for scientific and/or clinical research. The hope is that these studies ultimately will lead to new diagnostics, treatments, and/or cures for rare diseases.
We share information about opportunities to participate in clinical trials and other studies. Patients can refer to their doctors to see what clinical trials they are eligible for.
NORD provides content in the form of publications and videos to help doctors share information with their patients.
