research

Arthritis, rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases impact nearly 50 million Americans.

We award grants to scientists conducting innovative research that will lead to a future with more options for patients with rheumatic disease to live longer, healthier lives.

Our programs fund training and mentorship opportunities for medical students and fellows to assist in the recruitment and education of future rheumatologists. We are committed to expanding the workforce in order to provide patients with better access to specially trained rheumatology professionals.

Your support will help transform the future for millions of people living with rheumatic disease.
