Some people (but very few) here wonder why we don’t just crowdfund donation$ and then hire our own POIS researcher instead of using an intermediary like NORD? One answer is that NORD does all the accounting/bookkeeping/$$$ fundraising donor collection, organization and disbursement of funds, a mini-nightmare for a small group like ours. Then they do massive promotion to a huge international database and PR network to screen for and find medically-qualified-for-POIS researchers. Then, lending great CREDIBILITY to the process (for donors & researchers alike) with a very well-known and highly respected name in the field of medical research of rare disorders, e.g., NORD.

And to me, one of the most critical factors is having an “oversight” team like NORD’s MAC (see below), virtually impossible to assemble all alone by a small group such as ours.

:) MAC FAQ :)

Q. Who evaluates all of the POIS Grant proposals for NORD (our Grant administrator) and who does the final award/selection of our Researcher/PI (Principal Investigator)? And who monitors POIS research progress & sends us periodic updates?

A. NORD's Scientific and Medical Advisory Committee (also known as "MAC") -- does all of the above.

Sorry Demo, English is not my native tongue, are news good or bad?
no sugar diet helps me a tiny bit, also makes my mind much calmer in general. Sugar is definitely something my body does not handle well. Also I noticed that other inflammations like a hangover are better since I quit sugar. I avoid sweet fruits as well.

NORD Webinar Series

NORD hosts monthly webinars on the odd-numbered months. We feature topics frequently requested by members. In addition to these regularly scheduled webinars, there are occasionally special webinars added to the schedule with an important topic and/or guest.


Have a suggestion for a NORD webinar? Let me know via PM (private message)

Your suggestion, to maximize the likelihood of NORD approval, should appeal to a broad base of rare-disorder sufferers, not just POISers.

Example of past topics for NORD webinars:

• About NORD
• Fundraising
• Free Promotion of Your Events and Disease
• The Cost of Rare Disease Drugs
• Grant Writing for Rare Disorders
