Mission Statement
CARRA's Mission is to conduct collaborative research to prevent, treat, and cure pediatric rheumatic diseases.
Description
The Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance (CARRA) is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization. As a prominent research network, CARRA brings together over 650 pediatric rheumatologists, physicians, researchers, healthcare professionals, and patients and caregivers.
Recognizing the importance of collaboration, CARRA's founding members initiated a registry project to gather information on the treatment and impact of childhood-onset rheumatic diseases. The CARRA Registry, now one of the largest in North America, serves as a valuable resource. Members of CARRA enjoy additional benefits, such as access to registry and biobank data, opportunities for research project funding, career and leadership development, participation in the Annual Scientific Meeting, and a supportive community passionate about pediatric rheumatology.
We are seeking volunteers to collaborate with our internal staff in various capacities, including roles in marketing and graphic design, accounting, fundraising, and more. CARRA operates remotely and any volunteer opportunities would be fully remote.
