E-Rare is supported by the European Commission ERA-Net scheme, first under the Sixth Framework Program (2006-2010) and today under the Seventh Framework Program: E-Rare-2 (2010-2014). E-Rare (ERA-Net on rare diseases) is a network of sixteen partners – public bodies, ministries and research funding organizations – from twelve countries, responsible for the development and funding of national/regional research programs on rare diseases. E-Rare fosters research on rare diseases in Europe and associated countries. E-Rare partners systematically exchange information on rare diseases research and organise joint funding initiatives.
