Infrastructure for advocacy-led research: a low-cost independent IRB specialised in registries, natural-history studies, and surveys (roughly 15x faster turnaround than academic IRBs, and a SMART IRB founding member); a registry and data-collection program on the DigitalCabinet platform with participant-controlled sharing; and a cooperative BioBank where member organizations run their own collections at negotiated rates.

Why it's in this index

BSF's registry and any advocacy-led BTHS study needing IRB review fall within this scope.

Who can apply

Any disease advocacy organization; cooperative membership model.

How to apply

IRB: irbadmin@geneticalliance.org. Registry/BioBank: through the program pages.
