The Rheumatology Research Foundation's mission is to advance research and training to improve the health of patients living with rheumatic disease. Through funding research, the Foundation aims to lead to a future with more options for patients to live longer, healthier lives. It also funds training and mentorship for medical students and fellows to expand the workforce of specially trained rheumatology professionals.
The FOREUM/Rheumatology Research Foundation (RRF) Partnership Award seeks to encourage transatlantic research collaborations between investigators in the U.S. and Europe, focusing on rheumatic disease research. The grant aims to fund projects that involve patient research partners to enhance the relevance, quality, and impact of the research. The award provides up to $200,000 and EUR 200,000 over two years, supporting costs for U.S.-based investigators through RRF and for European investigators through FOREUM.
