Lack of infrastructure for sharing data and other resources. Lack of therapeutics and mechanistic research to inform treatment development.

Distinctive Features: Documentation of plans for engagement and partnerships with Patient Advocates throughout the life cycle of the research study from development of the research question through execution of the study.
