Collaborations

About our current collaboration with the American College of Rheumatology (ACR):

To facilitate our ability to quickly address the challenges facing rheumatology in the context of this pandemic, the American College of Rheumatology’s Board of Directors approved the COVID-19 Global Rheumatology Alliance (GRA) as a Section of the College on March 30, 2020. This arrangement will allow us to leverage the rich resources and support of the ACR so that we can ultimately form an independent organization. As we develop “in-house” expertise in such topics as regulatory compliance, finance, and grant management, the ACR can help us meet our obligations and responsibilities to the community that The COVID-19 Global Rheumatology Alliance serves. Both The COVID-19 Global Rheumatology Alliance and ACR agree that the ultimate goal is for The COVID-19 Global Rheumatology Alliance to be an independent organization pursuing its mission.
