The ACR will Promote Clinical and Basic Research in Arthritis and Musculoskeletal Disease.
Through the work of the ACR Committee on Research, the ACR promotes clinical and basic research in arthritis and musculoskeletal disease.
Providing Educational Opportunities from Bench to Bedside
With its continued goal of providing opportunities specifically to attendees' work at the bench and bedside, the ACR offered a Basic Research Conference as a pre-meeting course prior to the ACR/ARHP Annual Scientific Meeting. The focus of the conference was the immunobiology of B cells.
In addition, the Clinical Research Conference, also held as a pre-meeting course to the annual meeting, focused on quality improvement and evidence implementation research.
Combined, these two research conferences welcomed 802 attendees and were well-received by participants.
Building Relationships between ACR and NIH
During 2010, ACR leadership sought to engage leadership at various National Institutes of Health institutes in dialogue about the future of rheumatology funding. Meetings between key constituents from National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, National Center for Research Resources and National Institute of Child Health & Human Development were successful and plans are underway to continue outreach during 2011 and 2012.
