- $282,597 spent. In 2024, the Orphan Therapeutics Accelerator was formed. In this initial year of operating, the organization developed a new model to bring rare disease programs that had been halted by for-profit companies through development so that these medicines could be made accessible to rare disease patients in need. We evaluated potential medicines, developed partnerships to support our model, and connected with potential funding sources.
