The research programs span the spectrum of the most fundamental research
questions that underlie the pathogenesis of rheumatologic diseases to research
involving clinical trials of new therapies as well as studies of health care
delivery systems. We now have unprecedented opportunities in basic research and
in the availability of new therapeutics to address questions related to
rheumatologic diseases. As a consequence we are experiencing a large expansion
of our research programs. These comprehensive research programs are being funded
by a wide range of sources including the National Institutes of Health, the
Arthritis Foundation, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, philanthropic efforts
and industry. Philanthropic support of research efforts and educational programs
is coordinated by The Rosalind Russell Medical Research Center for Arthritis which was established and sited at UCSF by an act of Congress.
