Juvenile Arthritis Research
The Arthritis Foundation is advancing juvenile arthritis research, care and workforce development through strategic partnerships.
The Arthritis Foundation is committed to improving outcomes for children living with arthritis and other pediatric rheumatic diseases through a comprehensive approach that spans research, clinical care, training and workforce development. In partnership with the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance (CARRA), the Foundation supports physician-led research, critical infrastructure, scientific collaboration and a major patient registry that advances understanding of pediatric rheumatic diseases and helps improve treatment and care. Together with the Pediatric Rheumatology Care & Outcomes Improvement Network (PR-COIN), these efforts also help standardize care, enhance clinical training, expand the pediatric rheumatology workforce and fund breakthroughs that bring hope to children and families affected by arthritis.
