This morning, we are kicking off the 19th Annual Investigators Meeting! Over the next two days, 42 Foundation-supported investigators will gather to exchange research updates, build new connections, and discuss the latest advances in rheumatology. We're also excited to welcome our dedicated volunteers and a #RheumChampion, who will share their personal perspective and experiences throughout the meeting. This year's meeting is especially meaningful as it coincides with the American College of Rheumatology's Rheumatology Research Workshop, bringing established investigators, trainees, and early-career researchers together under one roof. The Foundation's first- and second-year Scientist Development Award recipients will participate in the workshop, which is designed to connect trainees and early-career investigators with established leaders in the field while fostering mentorship, collaboration, and professional growth. We're looking forward to two days of science, learning, and connection as we work together to advance the future of rheumatology research.
