Patient Registry A - PRP Alliance

NORD-FDA Natural History Study Project Page

NORD is partnering with disease specific advocacy organizations to launch patient-centered registries to gain a better understanding of rare diseases. The registries will allow patients around the world to share relevant data, connect with researchers, and support research on how variables such as diet, exercise, environmental factors and other variables may affect disease progression.

Goals

The goal of the registries is to document natural history data to help medical researchers better understand how diseases develop and progress over time. The databanks utilize best practices from NIH, expertise from medical professionals in the specific disease state and insight from the FDA on questionnaire design to help future development of promising therapies.
