Join the Contact Registry RDCRN Contact Registry

The Contact Registry is a method by which patients with rare diseases can register themselves with the RDCRN in order to be contacted in the future about clinical research opportunities and updates on the progress of the research projects. The contact registry is anonymous and free of charge.

You (or your child) are invited to participate in a research project that will develop a nation-wide registry for patients.

Benefits of Joining the Contact Registry include:
