Robert C Fuhlbrigge et al. Rheum Dis Clin North Am. 2021 Nov.

Abstract

The Childhood Arthritis & Rheumatology Research Alliance (CARRA) launched in 2000 as a small network of pediatric rheumatologists and investigators dedicated to promoting collaborative research to improve the care and outcomes of childhood-onset rheumatic diseases. Over the past 2 decades, CARRA has grown to become a major driver of advances in evidence-based medicine and career development in pediatric rheumatology. Its research approach has transformed pediatric rheumatology. CARRA is a vibrant organization that will continue to facilitate impactful research in the care of children, adolescents, and young adults with rheumatic disease in the years to come.
