Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
NEC Biorepository
The NEC Biorepository is essential to advancing the science that will lead to the development of novel diagnostic approaches and provides an opportunity to facilitate collaborations between multiple centers and expand the available number of patients, biological samples, and corresponding clinical data. The ultimate goal is to develop a biomarker or genetic test to predict a baby’s risk of developing necrotizing enterocolitis and offer preventive strategies against it.
NEC Society Research Incubator
The NEC Society Research Incubator fosters multi-center collaboration among clinicians and research scientists to accelerate research that is meaningful to patient-families.
NEC Research Prioiritization
The goal of this project is to determine research priorities for the NEC Community. The NEC Society has convened a panel of patient-families, researchers and clinicians to identify the most pressing and important research topics for the field, with a special focus on patient-centered outcomes research projects. We will disseminate our findings (via webinar and print) and produce project guidelines for other rare disease communities.
Family Resource Box program
Families affected by necrotizing enterocolits (NEC) often experience feelings of isolation, along with a lack of resources and information about the disease. The NEC Society's Family Resource Packets contain up-to-date information about NEC and resources to empower, educate, and support families.
At limited neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) in the United States, a family whose baby was recently diagnosed with NEC or passes away from NEC can request one of our Family Resource Packets.
