Philanthropy (how YOU can help)

Arthritis research at Northwestern is sponsored in part by the generousity of people who have had their own lives, or the life of someone they love, affected by a rheumatic disease. 

The generous support of the Northwestern University Arthritis Research Society (NUARS) has allowed Northwestern to establish and advance its standing in the field of rheumatologic and autoimmune disease research. Because of the tremendous progress the Division has made, the Feinberg School of Medicine as a whole continues to benefit, ascending national rankings, gaining accolades, and securing vital research grants as a result.


While the Division of Rheumatology continues to rank among the nation’s best, private donor support remains paramount to our continued success. For those lives affected by disease, both patients and their families, the importance of research to improve treatment options and advance progress toward cures cannot be overstated.
