Shape1 TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) Genetics and Rare Disease Information Center (GARD) 2.0 Website User Feedback Survey



PURPOSE: GARD is a program under the NCATS Office of Rare Diseases Research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). It provides the public with access to current, reliable, and easy-to-understand information about rare or genetic diseases in English and Spanish. The GARD website includes information on over 6,000 rare diseases to help people find reliable information. In the United States, a rare disease is defined as one that affects fewer than 200,000 people. The types of information presented includes symptoms, causes, available treatments, how to find a specialist and information about finding a support group or obtaining financial assistance as well as other disease aspects important to a rare disease patient and their family.


The GARD website is currently undergoing a major redevelopment effort in terms of technology, content and user experience. Before launching the new website, NCATS would like to collect targeted user feedback on the draft new pages to inform our development of the new website. When visiting pages on the current GARD website, users will have the option of clicking a button to be taken to a preview page of the website. On that preview page there will be a link to provide feedback by responding to a series of questions.
