Participate in Research
There are many ways that YOU can play a role in advancing research to help lead to better understanding, better treatments, and one day a cure.
Participate in the Research Ready Series
Learn about patient-centered outcomes research and take part in research fundamentals training to be able to better understand and participate in the research process and help ensure that research is focused on things that matter most to patients and families.
Enroll in the Glut1 Deficiency Natural History Study
Help contribute data about patient experiences so that we better understand how this disease impacts people in different ways, how that may change over time, and how it can be better and more easily diagnosed and treated.
Donate samples to the Glut1 Deficiency Biorepository
Researchers learn the most when they have cells and other biosamples to study from actual patients. You can easily donate blood and other samples from you and your loved ones to help make these important tools available to the research community.
