CISCRP is excited to announce that Lupus Research Institute has joined its community of collaborators as a new National Sponsor for AWARE for All – Clinical Research Education Days. Lupus Research Institute is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the development of safer and more effective treatments and a cure for lupus through novel research. As a champion of clinical trials education, scientific innovation, and patient advocacy, Lupus Research Institute is a clear partner for CISCRP’s AWARE for All program.
“Our organizations are built on similar goals,” said Ellyn Getz, Project Manager of AWARE for All. “From the beginning we could see that Lupus Research Institute could strengthen the AWARE program through its financial support and its extensive reach and outstanding positioning among the lupus community.”
Lupus Research Institute’s national sponsorship will support four upcoming AWARE events including AWARE for All– Washington DC on May 5, as well as programs in New York City, Chicago, and Research Triangle Park this fall.
“Delivering new treatments requires all hands on deck – active partnerships and collaborations among all stakeholders – especially patients and families,” commented LRI President and CEO Margaret G. Dowd. “Expanding 
engagement at all levels is key to advancing the research that matters most to patients living with disease. The Lupus Research Institute is very pleased to collaborate with CISCRP on AWARE for All to educate the public about the importance of taking part in clinical studies.”
