NIAMS Coalition

Overview

The NIAMS Coalition is an independent consortium of professional and voluntary organizations that is national in scope. These organizations raise awareness about NIAMS research into the basic understanding, causes, incidence, treatment, and prevention of diseases of the bones, joints, muscles, and skin. They are key partners of the NIAMS, and serve as the voices of the patients and professionals for whom NIAMS works.
