Where is lupus being researched?
Lupus research is conducted by both public and private organizations, companies, universities and colleges, as well as the federal government; which includes the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the Food & Drug Administration (FDA), and the Military. The NIH contains the National Institute for Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin diseases. This is commonly referred to as NIAMS, and it is here where much of the federally funded research related to lupus takes place.
