There are three classes of memberships in COMBINEDBrain:

  • Patient Advocacy Groups – Organizations representing rare genetic neurodevelopmental or pediatric neurological disorders. They must be registered charities, 501c3, or represented through a fiduciary sponsor (such as Rare Village). COMBINEDBrain will not limit the number of PAGs representing a given disorder.
  • Industry Advisors – For-profit organizations working to develop treatments for the types of disorders represented by PAG members.
  • Individuals – Persons such as researchers, consultants or students who may attend in-person meetings and receive the newsletter, but may not participate in projects, such as the Biorepository, without PAG sponsorship.

Note: At this time, collaborating vendors such as for-profit or non-profit organizations which provide services to PAGs or Industry (CRO’s, data platforms, laboratories) may not obtain membership.
