Research information

Along with education and assistance, Arthritis Australia spearheads the effort to further our knowledge of arthritis and to search for cures. Much of our work is directed toward raising funds to provide grants, fellowships and scholarships. Professor Graeme Jones is the medical director of Arthritis Australia and chair of the Research Grants Assessment Committee.

Arthritis Australia conducts an annual research grants program open to both national and international researchers, and funds the chair of rheumatology at the University of Sydney.

As well as our national research program, some of our state affiliate offices provide financial support for local research projects and academic rheumatology initiatives. These include the Chair of Rheumatology at Queensland University and senior lecturer positions at Sydney's Westmead Hospital and the Arthritis Foundation of Victoria Centre for Rheumatic Diseases.

The Foundation meets its goals by annually giving research grants within an ever widening group of research categories that it decides to support.

The Foundation has a personal approach towards the granting of research funds and this is appreciated by their recipients, often expressed at their Grants Dinner held in late March each year.
