Our Role in Research
Our research initiatives aim to identify therapies that work best for our diseases and disease subgroups, expedite detection and diagnosis, influence legislation, and increase patient knowledge of and participation in research.
Patient-Led Initiatives - The research projects we lead or participate in are based on patient-identified needs and patient-infused solutions. Led by patients, we work with research professionals as our advisors.
Patient-Research Collaboration - We are leaders in advancing patient voices in research by participating as patient research partners (PRPs) on projects worldwide and by helping match other patients to the same opportunities
In addition to educating patients about clinical trials and shared-decision making associated with making that choice, we will continue our work towards preparing for future trials - particularly those that include all people (not only the general patient population samples).
In addition to serving as patient research partners, advisors, and clinical trial grant reviewers, we act as a bridge between stakeholders and a global pool of patients so all persons diagnosed with these diseases have a voice in research.
Peer-led research reviews and interactive Q & A sessions to help our community learn of the latest studies and therapeutic evolution. Associated with our Go with Us to Conferences program (ACR/EULAR).
We aim to use our discussion platform to host conversations that will provide robust data that can be used by both our organization and by others to advance public policy and legislative efforts.
We are leaders in precision medicine in the autoimmune/autoinflammatory space, teaching patients about its importance, advocating for subgroup research, and fighting for access to biomarker testing in the clinical setting.
