Rare Diseases (Support from Office of Rare Diseases Research in the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences): ORDR/NCATS will provide funding in this category. Projects must focus on an area of science/research directly related to a rare disease. An orphan or rare disease is generally considered to have a prevalence of less than 200,000 affected individuals in the United States. Diseases with a prevalence of more than 200,000 affected individuals may be included if a biologically plausible subset of the disease, with a prevalence less than 200,000, can be scientifically justified for focused research. A comprehensive list of rare diseases, updated regularly, is available at http://rarediseases.info.nih.gov/RareDiseaseList.aspx?PageIC=1.
Please note: All applications in this category will be considered for funding in the OCRECO research BtB Funds.
