"I am honored to accept this award on behalf of CURE ID from Cures Within Reach, a leader in the effort to bring more repurposed therapies to patients in need," said Heather Stone, MPH, FDA health science policy analyst in the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research's Office of Medical Policy. "This recognition shows the power of CURE ID to identify and evaluate drugs for additional clinical study and, eventually, potential approvals for new uses. As CURE ID expands and evolves, I am confident it can continue to be an important resource in our fight against COVID-19 and other diseases lacking adequate approved therapies for patients."
The Janet Davison Rowley Patient Impact Research Award is named in recognition of the impact that Dr. Janet Davison Rowley (1925-2013) had on patients through her clinical care and medical research, and because her pioneering discoveries that genetic alterations create diseases serve as the foundation of many repurposing opportunities.
The Golan Christie Taglia Patient Impact Philanthropy Award is named in honor of its first awardee, Chicago law firm Golan Christie Taglia LLP, in gratitude for its many years of financial and in-kind support for CWR.

- CURE ID at the FDA and NCATS/NIH is the recipient of the 2021 Golan Christie Taglia Patient Impact Philanthropy Award
CWR celebrates and honors:
- ReFRAME at Calibr, Scripps Research's drug discovery division, and the impact that its screening database is having on patients with neglected diseases as well as finding potential COVID-19 treatments. We celebrate Calibr's commitment to the database's ease of accessibility and the collaboration made possible through this technology, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since ReFRAME's launch, repurposed drugs such as clofazimine in cryptosporidiosis and auranofin in TB are impacting patients in clinical trials.
- CURE ID, a tool that allows clinicians and researchers to share repurposing case reports as a means to identify drugs for further study in clinical trials. We celebrate the development and launch of CURE ID for infectious diseases and soon for other diseases as well. We especially recognize the enhancements the FDA and NCATS/NIH made to CURE ID to help assist in the COVID-19 response. CURE ID is an example of the government's critical role in the repurposing ecosystem and the FDA and NIH's long-time commitment to enhancing drug development for difficult-to-treat diseases.
