Engaging, Educating, and Empowering Patients

We are an online advocacy education program and community working to help patients, advocates, and caregivers acquire the necessary tools to effectively communicate with drug researchers, developers, and regulators.

For Patients, Advocates and Caregivers

An online learning community bringing together patients and their advocates as we work to incorporate the patient voice into research and drug development.
I have nothing but accolades for how well ProgressforPatient.org has helped me to become a better advocate by fully understanding how drugs are approved through the regulatory process. I now feel comfortable relaying this information to patients, physicians, and many others.
