The Rare Diseases Clinical Research Network (RDCRN) invites those who participated in the 2020 survey “Impacts of COVID-19 on the Rare Disease Community” to complete an online follow-up survey about the ways COVID-19 has impacted people with rare diseases and their families since the beginning of the pandemic.

The Rare Diseases Clinical Research Network (RDCRN) will be collaborating with the NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and the University of Pittsburgh on a SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic Serosurvey among people who live with rare diseases.
