The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), in partnership with the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America, Inc. (SCDAA), will host Research That Heals: Partnering to Transform SCD Care on June 25-26, 2026. This 1.5-day hybrid (in-person and virtual) community forum will be a crucial platform for engaging directly with the sickle cell disease (SCD) community, including individuals with SCD and their caregivers, healthcare providers and community-based organizations. During the forum, participants will discuss and develop solutions to enhance care and improve the quality of life for children and adults living with sickle cell disease.

Registration will open soon. Stay tuned for more!
