Our approach to research funding
Delivering our research
We are committed to ensuring all the research that we fund has maximum impact for people with arthritis and our ambition is to ensure this happens as rapidly as possible.
Scope of research
We fund basic research to better understand how different forms of musculoskeletal conditions develop and continue to invest in the development and evaluation of new treatment.
Setting our research strategy
We exist to prevent the onset of arthritis, develop a cure for arthritis and transform the lives of those with arthritis.
Supporting research careers
We aim to develop the next-generation of world-class MSK researchers by providing incentives and motivation during early training and education to make musculoskeletal disease an attractive career choice.
Research strategy meetings
We often hold research strategy meetings to gain understanding of given areas.
Pain
Since 2015, we've been reviewing and carefully considering our approach to tackling musculoskeletal pain.
