Our Mission is to transform the lives of people living with arthritis through research and engagement. Arthritis Research Canada conducts consumer-driven clinical research, aimed at arthritis prevention, early diagnosis, better treatment and improved quality of life. We are a patient-oriented research organization, approaching our work from a wide range of disciplines including rheumatology, rehabilitation science, public health, epidemiology, biostatistics, health psychology and behavioural change, health economics, education and paediatrics. Arthritis Research Canada is dedicated to understanding, advancing and sharing knowledge about the causes of arthritis, and addressing issues that are impacting people with arthritis right now. We are committed to practical research for everyday living, reducing the burden of arthritis, and giving people with arthritis better, more timely, and cost-effective solutions for living with their disease. Arthritis is more serious than most people think and it is only through arthritis research that we can find answers and save lives.
