Resources for Families with Rare Diseases in North Carolina

For individuals living with a rare disease, the impact of natural disasters can be detrimental. Together, NORD staff worked with our volunteer advocate, Lydia Rowen to create the Emergency Relief Resources packet, a list of emergency relief resources available for download that may be helpful for rare disease families in the North Carolina area.

Duke Undiagnosed Disease Network

The Undiagnosed Diseases Network (UDN) is a research study funded by the National Institutes of Health Common Fund, made up of medical and research centers across the United States working to improve diagnosis and care of patients with undiagnosed diseases. Through this study, we hope to both help individual patients and families and contribute to the understanding of how the human body works.

Due to the complex nature of the body and the diseases being investigated, we cannot accept all applicants into the study. However, we do fully review all applications we receive. For more information about the UDN and the application process, please visit: dumcudn.org
