New York – May 27, 2021 – This information is from the Relapsing Polychondritis Foundation Inc. with Race for RP and is not sponsored by, nor a part of, the European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology. 

The Relapsing Polychondritis Foundation announced that a poster abstract about the founding and launch of the Penn RP Program (Philadelphia, PA) has been accepted for presentation by the European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR) 2021 Virtual Congress to be held on June 2-5, 2021, in Paris, France.

The poster will highlight how continued attendance at conferences and relationship-building with clinicians, researchers, patients, and advocates galvanized the establishment of a research initiative and partnership between the University of Pennsylvania RP Program and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) sponsored Vasculitis Clinical Research Consortium (VCRC).

“We are excited and honored to participate in the EULAR 2021 Virtual Congress and share how a patient’s work in advocacy helped build a powerhouse research program. To be able to continue sharing information about relapsing polychondritis with those in the rheumatology field while highlighting our efforts to bridge knowledge gaps and overcome challenges in patient diagnosis and care is a tremendous opportunity,” said David Bammert, Director and President of the RP Foundation. “We look forward to fostering friendships and learning more about other innovative research initiatives through this prominent forum.”

Details of the abstract and poster presentation are as follows:
