Ask any rheumatologist about the state of RA as a disease and you’re likely to get the same answer: There’s reason for great optimism and there’s a lot of work to be done.
Reckoning of a Presidential Year
The past year was filled with accomplishments and I take away wonderful memories
REF Fellowship Training Award Expanded
Workforce training should be at the forefront of every rheumatologist’s mind. The release of the 2006 Rheumatology Workforce Study, commissioned by the ACR, confirms that the current shortage of rheumatologists will continue to increase, affecting current and future patient care.
‘Within Our Reach’ Gears Up for Second Round of RA Grants
The ACR REF “Within Our Reach” campaign is now accepting applications for its second round of RA research grants. The first round of grants (announced in July) provided an estimated $6 million in funding to 15 recipients.
REF Preceptorship Award Recipients
Of the numerous training and research opportunities the REF offers, it is the Preceptorship Awards that best illustrate its commitment to ensuring the future of rheumatology.
“Within Our Reach” RA Grant Recipients Announced
Because so much is still unknown about RA – what causes it, why it affects people differently, how to cure it – and because research is underfunded (see Table 1), the ACR Research and Education Foundation (REF) launched “Within Our Reach: Finding a Cure for Rheumatoid Arthritis.”
Volunteer Opportunities for Fellows-in-Training
The spirit of volunteerism has changed from the baby boomers to Gen Xers, but the need has not. As professional associations and organizations evolve, the need for volunteers continues. Because fellows-in-training are new to rheumatology as well as the ACR, they bring a unique perspective to their volunteer roles.
Support for a Future without RA
Shirley Enis of Jacksboro, Texas, has decided to get involved with “Within Our Reach” because the campaign has the capacity to improve RA patients’ quality of life, alleviate long-term effects of RA, and ultimately ensure that future generations can enjoy life without RA.
First Round of “Within Our Reach” Grants
The ACR Research and Education Foundation (REF) “Within Our Reach” campaign awarded approximately $6 million to 15 recipients this month.

The ARHP is pleased to announce the first recipients of its new Graduate Student Recognition Award: Rahul Kanna and Denise Power. By supporting the efforts of non-medical graduate students interested in rheumatology, this new award program recognizes creative research projects that merge the theory and clinical practice of rheumatologic care in an effort to improve the lives of patients with rheumatic diseases.
