Credit pool estimate

85 participants x 950 max credits/person. Credits document completed participation activity and may help with eligibility review if a future value-sharing program is approved. Credits are not cash, equity, tokens, or guaranteed payments.

Gradual participation path

Members start with joining credit, then earn more as Mito Map summaries, profile completeness, check-ins, opportunity decisions, and reviewed interactions accumulate up to the program maximum.

Researcher program

Researchers who publish with Alliance data can share in the value they help create.

When a researcher uses consented Alliance data, publishes useful findings, and follows the program's data-use and publication rules, their work can be recognized through a separate Researcher Value Pool.

Researcher value awards are not guaranteed. Eligibility depends on publication status, data-use compliance, program approval, available qualifying value, and applicable law.

When will my credits appear?

MDA adds credits after the activity is complete and its required information can be confirmed. Some steps are confirmed automatically after a Mito Map sync. Surveys, reviews, and other invited activities may need staff review. For disease-specific programs, MDA may also confirm diagnosis or genetic-testing information when it is available.

If a checklist says "if available," you can finish the step even when that information does not exist for you. If a step requires an invitation, wait until MDA offers that activity. Credits record participation; they are not money, ownership, or a promise of payment.

Possible future payments

Credits do not guarantee payment.

This program is currently at the pre-revenue stage. Its patient pool currently holds $0. It has recorded $0 in qualifying revenue and $0 in approved past distributions.

If the program receives qualifying money and approves a Patient Success Distribution, members generally need active enrollment and at least 50 qualifying credits to be considered. Any approved amount would depend on the program rules and each eligible member's credits. Payment is never guaranteed.
