Program Snapshot
The Common Fund’s Undiagnosed Diseases Network (UDN) is a research study to improve and accelerate diagnosis of rare and undiagnosed conditions. The UDN uses both basic and clinical research to improve the level of diagnosis and uncover the underlying disease mechanisms associated with these conditions.
- Twelve Clinical Sites (including the NIH UDP)
- Coordinating Center
- Sequencing Core
- Two Model Organisms Screening Centers
- Metabolomics Core

The goal of the Common Fund Program is to form a sustainable national resource to diagnose both rare and new diseases, advance laboratory and clinical research, enhance global coordination and collaboration among laboratory and clinical researchers, and share resulting data and approaches throughout the scientific and clinical communities.
