Basic principles
• Teams up public and private organisations investing in
rare diseases research
• Research funders with relevant programmes >$10
million US over a 5-year period can join & work
together
• Each organisation funds research its own way
• Funded projects adhere to a common framework
• Agree to share data / standards
Alignment – Flexibility - Commitment
