Rheumatologists in community-based practices work closely with patients, which allows them to notice trends and nuances researchers may not. Unfortunately, few opportunities exist for rheumatologists to test their observations through research, in addition to taking care of patients. Limited funding, time constraints and competition from larger academic medical centers are some of the barriers that hinder clinical research in this setting. The Rheumatology Research Foundation is continuing to address this issue with the Innovative Research Award for Community Practitioners (IRACP).
