FRAXA's mission is to accelerate progress toward effective treatments and ultimately a cure for Fragile X, by directly funding the most promising research. FRAXA also supports families affected by Fragile X and raises awareness of this important but relatively unknown disease. FRAXA was founded in 1994 by three parents of children with Fragile X, Katie Clapp, Michael Tranfaglia MD, and Kathy May, to support scientific research aimed at finding a treatment and a cure for Fragile X. Fragile X research is drastically underfunded, considering its high prevalence, prospects for a cure, and the promise that this research holds for advancing understanding of other disorders like autism, Alzheimer's disease, and X-linked mental retardation. FRAXA funds grants and fellowships at universities all over the world. We have funded more than $17 million dollars in top-notch science. FRAXA's management expenses have always been just 4% or less of income, as we have just one full-time staff, three part time staff, and hundreds of volunteer parents. Since FRAXA was founded, the Fragile X field has grown tremendously, due in large part to our grass-roots efforts. You can help us accomplish much more. FRAXA is a 501c3 tax-exempt organization; Tax ID 04-3222167

A multilingual application ontology aimed at the early detection of public health events in the media. It aims to describe the terms and relations necessary to detect and risk assess public health events in the grey literature at an early stage; and bridge the gap between the (multilingual) grey literature and existing standards in biomedicine. The BCO focuses on the usage of terms and relations within informal unstructured reports which are often made at a pre-diagnostic stage of a disease outbreak by non-medically trained reporters. This is done to provide monitoring and early warning about public health hazards from online media reports.
