On September 13, the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) Coalition held a congressional briefing to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the organization’s honoring of congressional champions who have been instrumental in supporting NIAMS and the NIH. The Coalition is a group of more than 70 medical, patient-advocacy, and science-based organizations (including the ACR) dedicated to advancing the critical research of the NIAMS and the NIH. The Coalition’s mission is to elevate understanding of the value of the NIAMS among policy makers and the public to foster increased support of the Institute.
