Great concept! I coordinated Huntington's disease clinical trials and experimental research for several years. Funding is crucial to quality research and success. I have a couple questions:
1.) Do you support projects that already have NIH grants?
2.) How many MDs and PhDs do you have on your CROWDACURE Medical Review Board?
3.) How are you different from competitors like Chuffed or The Common Good?
@andrewherndon Hi! Thanks for your enthusiasm :D
Funding is not just crucial for quality but sometimes just for research to happen! But I agree, how many times did researchers need to adopt the protocol to the budget? So your answers:
1. Of course we do, we do no politics, we just want to unlock medical progress. BUT! We take projects that are underfunded and this is assessed by our peer-review committee. This way, no conflict of interest!
2. Right now we have 16 members, and we will hire more per field of expertise.
3. It is really our niche specialisation in medical research with a golden standard peer-review process and our focus on hard to fund medical research. We also invest a lot in community outreach if you saw our campaigns page but The Common Good are doing a great job too.
Please let me know if you have other questions! :D

Why this is needed? Because Pharma only backs research that leads to patents and exclusivity. That will be the reason for your success as well. A big part of all possible solutions is yet ignored. Upvoted with all my heart!
@otto_offringa Thank you Otto! :D Everybody his job. Industry is a business, but medical research is for everybody. We shouldn't wait for big governments or industry, we should take our fate in hands!
@zinzi_bianca :D we are new. The first campaigners wanyed to make it excludive to their backers so their update isn't accessible from the public in general. In the future we will develop solutions in terms of interviess and blog posts

@weiss_sagit ok cool, could be worth mentioning that in the campaign? Great! Look forward to it :) Congrats again on an awesome product.
Good morning and thanks for posting and supporting www.crowdacure.com. This is awesome. We want to advance medical research by crowdfunding life-changing, but hard to fund medical research. The projects are peer-reviewed before accessing the platform and the outcome of the peer review outcome is shared in transparence on the platform. This way the public can make truly informed decisions. Please give us your feedback, that would be fantastic. Sagit
Dear community,
Thank you for so much support :D. May I ask your feedback on the platform? Would you please visit and let us know about your journey and experience. That would be awesome! Sagit

Interesting - reminds of https://patient-innovation.com/ a great initiative where people are sharing solutions (not funding)
@azizmorsly I just checked it, it really looks awesome! Thanks

@weiss_sagit good to see you here, common ground! Although we are not public yet. Our research continues while we are figuring out our strategy as an organisation. We try to find clues mainly through nutri-epigonomics and system biology. Would love to see what we can do together. Also have some research proposals on MPS VI and Huntington.
