Gradescope vs TheRareLens

Students, upload your assignments to Gradescope more easily than ever before! If your instructor uses Gradescope for your assignments, you can now upload your submission with our mobile app. After installing and opening the app, login to see your Gradescope courses and assignments. To upload a submission, click on the assignment in the “Not Submitted” tab and either “Select File” to select an existing file from your device or “Scan” all pages of your completed work using your iPhone’s camera. Once you submit your file(s), for templated assignments, you’re all set. For variable-length assignments, “Assign pages” to indicate where your answer for each question appears within your submission. It’s that easy! After confirming, your assignment then moves to the “Submitted” tab. If needed, you can resubmit your assignment until the due date your instructor set has passed. Once it is graded and grades are published for the assignment, it then moves to the “Graded” tab. Note: For V1 of the app, you will be directed to our mobile website for any advanced functionality, including viewing feedback and submitting timed, programming, or online assignments. Stay tuned for future updates that will allow you to do even more with our mobile app!

RareLens: Research Equity for Rare Diseases The Problem Over 7,000 rare and autoimmune diseases exist but fewer than 5% have an approved treatment. Research funding from the NIH often doesn't reflect how many people a disease affects or how severely it impacts their lives. Patients wait years for a diagnosis. Researchers don't know where the biggest gaps are. Advocates don't have the data to make their case. RareLens changes that. Who It's For — Patients and caregivers who want to understand where their disease stands in the research landscape — Scientists and clinicians looking for high-impact, underserved areas to direct their work — Patient advocates building the case for more funding — Students and researchers exploring rare disease epidemiology and health equity How It Works RareLens pulls live data from NIH Reporter, PubMed, and ClinicalTrials.gov to score every disease across two dimensions: • Research Score: how much NIH funding and published science exists for a disease • Patient Burden Score: how prevalent the disease is and how severely it affects quality of life The difference between the two is the Gap Score a single number that tells you exactly how underfunded a disease is relative to the burden it places on patients. Features — Live gap scores and funding trends for rare and autoimmune diseases — Disease profiles with NIH funding history, active clinical trials, and recent publications — Year-over-year funding change tracker to catch emerging shifts in research investment — Bookmark and track the diseases that matter to you — Search any disease, even one not in our catalog and get a full score within seconds The Science Behind It Every score is formula-based, sourced from public government data, and fully reproducible. RareLens was built on a peer-reviewed methodology grounded in NIH Reporter, Orphanet prevalence data, and the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021. This is not a curated list. This is a live, data-driven map of where science is and isn't showing up for patients.
