There is no global coordination of R&D for diseases generally, and less so for vitiligo. It turns out that knowledge is one of the most difficult things to disseminate, even in the absence of explicit intellectual property rights. Existing structures may often be insufficient to provide knowledge efficiently and equitably at the global level.
Within the framework of our Cloud MRM, the VRF soon will announce a number of initiatives and ideas that aim to close the knowledge gap in vitiligo.
We invite open minded investigators to participate in vitiligo research coordination. Your suggestions and ideas may improve lives of millions of affected people. To make global R&D more effective, please email us to info@vrfoundation.org
