SRNA’s goal is to establish additional Centers of Excellence focused on providing clinical care, advancing research to better understand rare neuroimmune disorders and developing more effective acute therapies and symptom management strategies. It is our intent to partner with the clinicians at the Centers of Excellence and support through funding (when available through Board approval) for innovative, promising research ideas.
