tion on the biomedical research projects which are running in Spain on rare diseases.
To draw up this map, information was compiled on competitive biomedical research and so- cial-healthcare field projects on RD financed by the main public and private funding agencies. Apart from the accessible public information, this had the data provided by the Committee of the Strategy on Rare Diseases of the National Health Service. A large number of researchers have also cooperated with MAPER by voluntarily providing this information. The data on research projects validated and accessible over the MAPER web in 2015 is as follows:
• 57 financing agencies participate in financing research into RD.
• Financing close to 90,000,000 €.
• 364 Principal Investigators included in the da- tabase.
• 260 RD included in the registry.
