Mission Statement

To provide initial research funding to brilliant, investigative scientists with new ideas to cure arthritis and related autoimmune diseases.

About This Cause

Since 1970, the ANRF has funded arthritis research to understand the causes, prevention and development of new treatments for osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, juvenile arthritis and related autoimmune diseases. Since 1998, the world-renowned Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) of physician-scientists has only chosen the best and brightest emerging arthritis research scientists each and every year. Donor support of these scientists and the research they are doing is critical to discovering new therapies and treatments, and creating a path to a cure for arthritis and related autoimmune diseases. In addition, when a scientist receives funding, it propels the ability to establish their independent research careers. Ensuring they stay in research and spend their lifetime dedicated to finding a cure will translate into a commitment to the research needed to make an impact. Ninety-five percent of ANRF funded scientists remain in research working towards a cure. These individuals work in top laboratories and ANRF funding enables them to make discoveries more quickly than without the extra support. The time is now to find a cure and help those suffering with arthritis.
