SARP Overview for professionals:

SARP is the world’s most comprehensive study of  adults and children with severe asthma, linking 4 leading university centers through a National Institutes of Health/NHLBI -sponsored network. To date, over 1500 asthma patients and healthy individuals have participated and are now included in an exhaustive asthma database which includes clinical, physiologic, immunologic, pathologic and genetic information.   Using these data, in conjunction with the individual site’s specific interests (see below), the     network’s mission is  to improve the understanding of the causes of severe asthma to lead to improved treatments.
