ABSTRACT Individuals with rare conditions often experience long diagnostic odysseys, which cause physical and emotional burdens and delay effective treatment and management. The Undiagnosed Diseases Network (UDN) has made significant progress in collaborative clinical and research approaches to provide answers to patients with undiagnosed conditions. However, critical areas require attention, including access to research approaches and representation from communities experiencing health disparities. As the Data Management Coordinating Center (DMCC), we aim to address these gaps and enhance the UDN's impact. Our specific aims are to provide essential research infrastructure, increase outreach to underserved communities, and optimize research efficiency through technical solutions. By expanding research capabilities, engaging communities experiencing health disparities, and leveraging advanced technologies, this research will advance the diagnosis and understanding of rare and undiagnosed conditions, benefiting patients, the scientific community, and the healthcare system.

抽象的 患有罕见疾病的人通常会经历漫长的诊断过程，这会导致身体和 情绪负担并延误有效的治疗和管理。未确诊疾病网络 （UDN）在协作临床和研究方法方面取得了重大进展，为以下问题提供了答案 患有未确诊病症的患者。然而，需要关注关键领域，包括获得研究成果 经历健康差异的社区的方法和代表性。作为数据管理 协调中心 (DMCC)，我们的目标是解决这些差距并增强 UDN 的影响力。我们的具体目标 是提供必要的研究基础设施，增加对服务不足的社区的影响，并优化 通过技术解决方案提高研究效率。通过扩大研究能力，吸引社区参与 经历健康差异并利用先进技术，这项研究将推动 诊断和了解罕见和未诊断的疾病，使患者、科学界受益， 和医疗保健系统。
