Welcome to the SCD C.A.R.E.S. (Collaboration of Advocates for Research, Education and Science) Consortium!<\/h3>\n

The mission of this initiative is to raise awareness about the importance of clinical trials and why it’s beneficial for sickle cell warriors to participate in them. The Sickle Cell Disease Association of America, along with our strategic partners, joined together to educate and encourage more trial participation while providing opportunities and therefore better options for the treatment of sickle cell disease.
