Our programs

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Research

We support the most promising and efficient Charcot-Marie-Tooth research aimed only toward development of treatments by building strategic alliances with academic and industry stakeholders.
Our goal is to forge partnerships with pharmaceutical companies to include a revenue share program which will in turn be reinvested into translational research for all types of CMT through treatments and cures.
Research proposals are carefully vetted by the CMTRF’s Scientific Advisory Board. They measure each proposal based on the excellence of the investigator, the work plan and the environment, as well as its ability to be translated into treatments for people with CMT.
Because we have a sense of urgency to deliver important scientific breakthroughs, proposals are quickly vetted while assuring a comprehensive and optimal approach.

done We demonstrated a willingness to learn more by reviewing resources about feedback practice.
done We shared information about our current feedback practices.

  • Who are the people you serve with your mission?

    The CMTRF serves all those living with Charcot Marie Tooth (CMT) disease, including all types of CMT.

  • What challenges does the organization face when collecting feedback?

    We don’t have the right technology to collect and aggregate feedback efficiently, It is difficult to find the ongoing funding to support feedback collection, It is difficult to identify actionable feedback
