The Challenge
All the different types of vasculitis are rare diseases - this makes it especially hard to do research because it is difficult to find enough patients for research studies, patients are spread out geographically, and it is hard to get health information from physicians to researchers.
The Solution
Vasculitis is rare but vasculitis research doesn't have to be! The V-PPRN will enroll more patients than ever studied in the past, from all parts of the country, and collect data on-line to break down barriers and involve patients in the research process so health information is easily shared with researchers.
