Idea behind RE(ACT)
Rare disease groups can use it as a crowdfund site for research into their disease.
Researchers are supposed to put forward research proposals.
REACT has a expert committee who accept/reject proposals.
If no proposal is ongoing, the money goes in to a fund awaiting proposals.
RE(ACT) TMAU Fund
Throw them $5 ? (or EU/£ )
Problems with REACTThrow them $5 ? (or EU/£ )
Staff seem to be not around.
Seems to be no users around.
Seems to be only one research fund ever raised of all the disorders.
Generally it seems neglected.
Yet they seem to do annual conferences.
REACT TMAU FUND : throw a $5 their way ?
Maybe if you have a spare 5 $/£/EU you could donate it to the TMAU Fund as a wake-up call.
Consider it money wasted.
Good things about REACT TMAU FUND
You can see the amount raised on their site.
Money does seem to at least stay in the fund (possibly forever).
Does not seem to get transferred into a general fund if deemed redundant.
SYSTEMIC MALODOR/TMAU community should have their research fund(s)
examples, Research Fund(s), campaigns such as awareness campaigns (e.g. Bus ad, conference) ).
Main ideas :
Needs to be transparent.
Needs to have broad support.
Needs to be trusted etc.
Crowdfund campaigns etc
Examples : Individuals or small groups could start TMAU/Malodor crowdfunds.
