Congress passed the 21st Century Cures Act late in 2016. The legislation is designed to help accelerate medical product development and bring innovations and advances to patients who need them faster and more efficiently.

HARPA would deliver on that promise. The Suzanne Wright Foundation will continue to advocate for its creation. The research is sitting on shelves and HARPA will drive innovations that will save lives NOW! #RoadToHARPA

The NIH is in the business of understanding the biology of disease. They do not develop detection tests and they don’t cure disease.

Despite the lack of any progress with pancreatic cancer, they continue to chug along with the same approach. Any other business with the same failing results for 50 years would be forced to shut down or start over.

Lessons from business and years of autism work taught Bob Wright the best way THROUGH is AROUND. The question with this situation was, who else needed a new approach??
Our pancreatic cancer army would never be large enough to influence the change we need. ALS, Alzheimer’s, and glioblastoma have no early detection tests or curative treatments, either.

It was time to Demand A New Approach for the many conditions that do not benefit from the slow, conservative, bureaucratic status quo research model. #RoadToHARPA
