Juvenile Arthritis Research

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.
