ALS Registry

The National ALS Registry may be the single largest ALS research project ever created and is designed to identify ALS cases from throughout the entire United States. The Registry is collecting critical information about the disease that may improve care for people with ALS and help us learn what causes the disease, how it can be treated and even prevented.

The ALS Association led the fight to establish the Registry by working with Congress to enact the ALS Registry Act and securing federal funding to design, build and implement the National ALS Registry at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (CDC/ATSDR). More information on the CDC ALS Registry can be found here.

We’re pleased to provide the ALS community with the tools and resources to help people living with ALS enroll in the Registry and to assist the ALS community in sharing news about the Registry.
