You Can Impact the Future of the Inherited Bleeding Disorders Community: The National Research Blueprint

NBDF has taken the lead on an initiative to develop a National Research Blueprint (NRB), a community-driven journey to shape the future of research together with researchers, the HTC interdisciplinary team, non-profit organizations, government, and industry partners, and, most importantly, people directly affected by bleeding disorders. Our goal is to establish ways to conduct research in the most inclusive, coordinated and efficient manner that includes patients in all stages of research. In this session, we will provide updates on the NRB initiative and how you can get involved.
