COVID-19 Resources & Information

State Resource Page

The state of Tennessee has created this helpful resource website in response to COVID-19.

Vanderbilt 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: https://ww2.mc.vanderbilt.edu/undiagnosed/

In order to make meaningful change in the lives of rare disease patients and their families in the state of Tennessee, we need you! Become active with the Rare Action Network by joining and utilizing the resources available on this website to take action and create change.
