"The Practical Research Project for Rare/Intractable Diseases" of AMED
The objectives of the Practical Research Project for Rare/Intractable Diseases are to elucidate the disease etiology and pathology, to promote the development of innovative diagnostics and therapeutics, and to improve the medical standard for all patients, for intractable diseases that meet the following four criteria: unknown mechanism of onset, lack of established treatments, defined as a rare disease, and requiring long-term medical care.
"The Research Project on Rare/Intractable Disease" of MHLW
The Research Project on Rare/Intractable Disease, in cooperation with related research and databases, promote the following for intractable diseases: establishment of a medical system, epidemiological research, public awareness, creation of diagnostic criteria and guidelines, and the improvement in transitional care for adolescent patients from pediatric to adult care.
