Getting data to the best people

The Xcelerate RARE: A Rare Disease Open Science Data Challenge is bringing together researchers and data scientists in a collaborative and competitive environment to make the best use of patient-provided data to solve big unknowns in healthcare. The Challenge will launch to researchers in late May 2023, focused on rare pediatric neurodevelopmental diseases.

RARE-X anticipates that some of the outcomes of Xcelerate RARE might be:

  • Shortening the diagnostic odyssey with predicted diagnosis
  • Identifying previously unrecognized symptoms associated with some of these rare diseases
  • Generating useful insights for advancing therapeutic research

Thousands of researchers worldwide – clinician-researchers, basic science researchers, and data scientists – will have the opportunity to study the data.
