Accelerated Cure Project for Multiple Sclerosis (ACP) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to accelerate efforts to improve the quality of life for people with multiple sclerosis (MS), to cure the disease and, ultimately, prevent it.

We believe that research is the only way to greatly improve the outlook for people with MS. ACP promotes scientific collaboration and accelerates research by rapidly and cost-effectively providing researchers with data and biospecimens they need to explore novel research ideas that can lead to better care for people with MS.

ACP's strategic initiatives include:

  • The OPT-UP Program - a large-scale, real-world treatment outcomes clinical study and collaborative research program to optimize treatment of MS and understand progressive disability
  • The ACP Repository - a collection of highly-characterized biosamples and data from over 3,000 subjects, available to scientists conducting research that can positively impact people with MS
  • The Multiple Sclerosis Discovery Forum - an online community connecting, educating and challenging researchers

Our innovative approach enables MS research to advance rapidly and catalyzes collaborative efforts toward a significant impact on this devastating disease. ACP's resources have supported 70 research studies worldwide and generated almost 300 million returned data points for collaborative data mining and disease modeling.
