Since FasterCures’ inception in 2003, we have emphasized the importance of putting patients at the center of the biomedical research system and produced resources to advance the science of patient input in biomedical research. Our capacity-building programs seek to strengthen the ability of patient foundations and nonprofit organizations to support, advance, or conduct research that can lead to new therapies for patient communities.
