What was the impact? Rare Disease Day at NIH raises awareness about rare diseases, the people they affect, and NIH collaborations that address scientific challenges and advance research for new treatments. The eye-catching flyer gains the attention of potential attendees and informs them about the importance of the event and why they should attend, leading to increased interest in the event and higher registration numbers.
