Accelerated Cure Project for Multiple Sclerosis (www.acceleratedcure.org)
 Accelerated Cure Project is a national nonprofit dedicated to curing
Multiple Sclerosis by determining its causes.
Our main program is the creation of the largest shared repository of
samples and data from people with MS, TM, NMO, ON, ADEM, and CIS
volunteers (and matched controls) in the world.
These samples are made available to researchers investigating the
causes of MS (and other demyelinating diseases). In exchange for
access, researchers must return the data they generate back to the
repository to be shared with others.
To participate, please call 888-234-0008 or visit our web site (listed
