Good morning and thanks for posting and supporting www.crowdacure.com. This is awesome. We want to advance medical research by crowdfunding life-changing, but hard to fund medical research. The projects are peer-reviewed before accessing the platform and the outcome of the peer review outcome is shared in transparence on the platform. This way the public can make truly informed decisions. Please give us your feedback, that would be fantastic. Sagit
@weiss_sagit Hi, in my experience it takes time until something is searchable. I think its marketing, you have to invest in marketing to get the votes, build an audience, people who believe in your product, it has the potential, but potential is nothing without actions. Conduct an outreach campaign to all the people who had shown interest in your app in the past, bring in new votes via social/forums/PR/magazines things like that...
If you'll look at the top 1000, you'll rarely see there apps without some background.
@iris_ben_david thanks a lot for a great question and for your support! First answer is yes because we have on the platform only projects who got audited by the book. They have also been audited for funding hardship. And ghe audit (peer review) details is shared on the campaign page. Second yes because we make sure the project information is accessible to everybody, with for example visual representations third, yes because the crowd decisions are an alternative to the expert and hence authorise the emergence of alternative projects. This jas the potential to innovate innovation in medicine- as long as projects are curated
Crowdacure is a pioneer platform of Social Responsibility, which is currently sweeping the world. This time done by entrepreneurs and other times by states. Good luck
Why this is needed? Because Pharma only backs research that leads to patents and exclusivity. That will be the reason for your success as well. A big part of all possible solutions is yet ignored. Upvoted with all my heart!
@otto_offringa Thank you Otto! :D Everybody his job. Industry is a business, but medical research is for everybody. We shouldn't wait for big governments or industry, we should take our fate in hands!
Just wanted to say thank you for the support of everybody, including so many people I never met, it is really exciting to see you love Crowdacure and we will do our best to achieve our mission!!! Big shout :D
Great concept! I coordinated Huntington's disease clinical trials and experimental research for several years. Funding is crucial to quality research and success. I have a couple questions:
1.) Do you support projects that already have NIH grants?
2.) How many MDs and PhDs do you have on your CROWDACURE Medical Review Board?
3.) How are you different from competitors like Chuffed or The Common Good?
@andrewherndon Hi! Thanks for your enthusiasm :D
Funding is not just crucial for quality but sometimes just for research to happen! But I agree, how many times did researchers need to adopt the protocol to the budget? So your answers:
1. Of course we do, we do no politics, we just want to unlock medical progress. BUT! We take projects that are underfunded and this is assessed by our peer-review committee. This way, no conflict of interest!
2. Right now we have 16 members, and we will hire more per field of expertise.
3. It is really our niche specialisation in medical research with a golden standard peer-review process and our focus on hard to fund medical research. We also invest a lot in community outreach if you saw our campaigns page but The Common Good are doing a great job too.
Please let me know if you have other questions! :D
@weiss_sagit good to see you here, common ground! Although we are not public yet. Our research continues while we are figuring out our strategy as an organisation. We try to find clues mainly through nutri-epigonomics and system biology. Would love to see what we can do together. Also have some research proposals on MPS VI and Huntington.
@zinzi_bianca :D we are new. The first campaigners wanyed to make it excludive to their backers so their update isn't accessible from the public in general. In the future we will develop solutions in terms of interviess and blog posts
Dear community,
Thank you for so much support :D. May I ask your feedback on the platform? Would you please visit and let us know about your journey and experience. That would be awesome! Sagit
