ARTHRITIS RESEARCH CANADA

The Mission of the Arthritis Research Centre of Canada is to improve the lives of people with arthritis through research. The Arthritis Research Centre of Canada (ARC) conducts consumer-driven clinical research and trials related to arthritis diagnosis, prognosis, prevention, care outcomes and quality of life issues. We are a patient-oriented research centre, and we approach our work from a wide range of disciplines including rheumatology, rehabilitation science, public health, epidemiolog... y, biostatistics health psychology, health economics and education. ARC’s important work is supported through working relationships and partnerships with universities, hospitals, funding agencies, arthritis treatment centres, and both the BC and Yukon Division and the National Office of The Arthritis Society. We are proud to be affiliated with the University of British Columbia (UBC) and the Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute (VCHRI). We have also established a partnership with Simon Fraser University (SFU) with the establishment of the Arthritis Research Chair. We are 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, meaning finding the answers NOW to reduce the burden of arthritis, and giving people with arthritis better, more timely, and cost-effective solutions for living with their disease.
