THE GREATEST INVESTMENT IS THE FOP REGISTRY WHICH IS THE ONLY REGISTRY FOR FOP PATIENTS IN THE WORLD AND A CRITICAL TOOL FOR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH. THE IFOPA ALSO DEDICATES A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF FUNDING TO RESEARCH GRANTS, INCLUDING GRANTS TO THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA'S CENTER FOR RESEARCH IN FOP AND RELATED DISORDERS. ADDITIONALLY, THE IFOPA FUNDS GRANTS THROUGH THE IFOPA'S ACT (ACCELERATING CURES AND TREATMENTS) FOR FOP GRANT PROGRAM AND GENE THERAPY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS.

IN ADDITION TO ONE-ON-ONE SUPPORT PROVIDED WHEN FAMILIES ARE NEWLY DIAGNOSED OR ARE LOOKING FOR TOOLS, TIPS AND HOME MODIFICATIONS TO HELP THEM LIVE MORE INDEPENDENTLY THROUGH OUR ABILITY TOOLBOX PROGRAM, THE IFOPA HAS DEVELOPED TWO PROGRAMS - RESILIENT LIVING AND THE ADVOCACY SERIES - TO SUPPORT THE MENTAL HEALTH AND PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS OF FOP FAMILIES.
