Our primary goal is to support arthritis-related research at Stanford and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). At Stanford and UCSF, their world-class research informs the care they provide in their many specialty clinics. Our Scientific Advisory Committee, consisting of leading Orthopedists and Rheumatologists, will approve and monitor funding for research that sheds new light on how the disease develops and identify remedies that can impact its progress in:

  • basic and translational research

  • genetics and epigenetics

  • clinical trials and observational studies

  • disease specific research programs

  • outcomes and informatics research

For general information about arthritis and how to manage it, visit the Arthritis Foundation, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the National Institutes of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases.
