Therapeutics for Rare and Neglected Diseases - Science

由于TRND是在2009年5月20日才宣布的，本财年所做的所有科学工作都是“初创”性质的，涉及需求评估和建立选择TRND将采用的科学项目的程序以及这些项目的起点和终点。具体成就包括： 1.确定了TRND的治理，并收到了许多国家卫生研究院工作人员咨询小组和外部专家小组的提名。 2.聘请了一名高级科学传播协调员担任TAG和EEP的执行秘书，并协调传播。 3.参加了与有兴趣了解TRND的公司、学术科学家和疾病界个人举行的多次会议。 4.探讨了与区域发展方案中感兴趣的利益攸关方建立潜在伙伴关系，以寻求利用区域发展方案活动的机会。

Since TRND was announced only on May 20, 2009, all of the science done this FY was "start-up" in nature, pertaining to needs assessment and establishing processes for selection of scientific projects to be adopted by TRND and the starting and stopping points for such projects. Specific accomplishments include: 1. Determined governance of TRND and received nominees from numerous ICs for a Trans-NIH Staff Advisory Group (TAG) and an External Expert Panel (EEP). 2. Hired a Senior Scientific Communications Coordinator to act as executive secretary for the TAG and EEP and to coordinate communications. 3. Participated in numerous meetings with companies, academic scientists, and individuals from disease communities interested in learning about TRND. 4. Explored potential partnerships with interested stakeholders in RNDs to seek opportunities to leverage TRND activities.
