	Special Emphasis Panel of the National Institutes of Health on the Coordination of Rare Diseases Research - Office of ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Individual investigators are valuable resources and the infrastructure that supports research, especially rare diseases research, must emphasize the value of their knowledge and expertise that may have been acquired over a lifetime career dedicated to researching a single rare disorder or a group of related rare diseases.
		For many patients with rare diseases, clinical trials serve as treatment options, especially when no other intervention is available, and treatment outcomes may be better during and after their participation in a clinical trial.
		ORD gives primary consideration to meetings on rare diseases or groups of diseases for which current research activity is lacking or lagging or for which research will be stimulated as a goal and an outcome of the meeting.

	Special Emphasis Panel of the National Institutes of Health on the Coordination of Rare Diseases Research
		This appended report highlights the rare diseases and conditions research efforts in most of the NIH Institutes and Centers for that year, many of which were the subject of the Special Emphasis Panel’s review.
		However, the need for research on specific rare diseases is great, and scientific opportunities are many, making competition for available resources fierce for all applications despite a continued increase in research funding.
		Researchers interested in rare diseases may be more likely to pursue research on pathogenesis and treatment if the development of colonies reflecting various "leaky" and null mutations (heterozygous and homozygous) were subsidized, since these initiatives are very expensive and time consuming.
