Overview
FasterCures' mission is not just to analyze the barriers to faster cures, but to overcome them through action. We do that through programs like these.
Philanthropy Advisory Service
The Philanthropy Advisory Service helps identify and characterize opportunities to support nonprofit medical research and will provide data to independent philanthropists, their financial advisers, and foundations through both publications and direct consulting services.
Through the Philanthropy Advisory Service, FasterCures aims to improve the transparency and understanding of the role nonprofit medical organizations play in accelerating the funding of innovative research and thus speeding the development of medical advancements in treating disease.
Innovation/The Redstone Acceleration and Innovation Network (TRAIN)
TRAIN brings together the leadership of organizations known for successfully implementing innovative approaches to funding research to help foster innovation throughout the research community.
Patients Helping Doctors (PHD)
Our PHD Program facilitates the understanding of the critical role patients play in research, with the ultimate goal of increasing patient participation in this process.
Think Research
Accelerating cures must be a goal of the emerging nationwide health information network in addition to improving patient care. Think Research promotes the development of interoperable electronic health records systems that are research-capable.
BioBank Central
BioBank Central is a source of information and news about why biospecimens (tissue and blood) matter to research, how one can donate a tissue sample, how biospecimens are collected, and how biobanks operate.
