• Why Participate

  The surveys you will take in the Data Collection Program are critical to the drug and treatment development process. Our goal is to make the process as easy as possible for you. The Data Collection Program uses a collaborative technology platform powered by RARE-X. RARE-X is a program of Global Genes created to accelerate rare disease research, treatments, and cures by removing barriers for data collection and sharing. By participating, you are…
