NF Conference
The NF Conference is the premier annual event in the neurofibromatosis research and clinical calendar. Now ongoing for over twenty years, the Conference includes high-profile keynote speakers from related disciplines such as cancer and neuroscience, serving to stimulate thought and build connections between NF and other disorders.
Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program
The United States Department of Defense Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program in Neurofibromatosis (CDMRP NFRP) was established in 1996 with a mission to promote research directed toward the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of neurofibromatosis, as well as enhance the quality of life for persons with the disorder.
