The Arthritis Foundation was just awarded a Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) award to develop a program to further educate families about research at both 2016 National JA Conference locations.
This year’s session is designed to help families understand the importance of their participation, what it means to fully participate, and how to become a partner in research. The program will include topics such as:
Prior experience in research is not necessary. This opportunity is available to anyone who wants to learn about research.

After the conference, you will be asked to share with us ways to improve the session and related materials.
