What We Are Collecting

We want to understand your individual patient experience. We will learn about individual patient experiences by collecting data you provide. We’ve made it easy for you to contribute this data to make vasculitis research happen now.

Research Ready

Our highly functional and successful infrastructure facilitates patient-centered clinical research, including fully self-contained projects within our large and data-rich patient portal to cross-collaborative studies that leverage our extensive expertise in the study of vasculitis and our engaged and research-sophisticated patient partners.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1597687796981{margin-top: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;background-color: #412f8c !important;border-radius: 10px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1597699277825{margin-top: 0px !important;padding-top: 15px !important;padding-right: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;}”]

Patient-Powered

The VPPRN is guided by our patient-partners who identify research needs for study development and prioritize research requests from the vasculitis community.  Research suggestions from patient-partners led to several studies now completed, including the “Journey to Diagnosis” Study which helped to gain insights into factors that delay a timely diagnosis of vasculitis

Stronger Together

COVID-19 research has dominated our current efforts as we survey patient-partners about how the novel virus is affecting their lives. New studies continue to launch, so get involved. The more participants we enlist, the faster we get results and the stronger the data.
