Acknowledgements & Disclosures

The American College of Rheumatology (ACR) is the leading authority and trusted partner of rheumatology professionals.

The ACR believes that collective efforts are essential to advance the quality of patient care and improve outcomes in rheumatology, and that it has mutual goals with external entities including corporations in the pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device industries. These external entities advance innovation and contribute in meaningful ways to the rheumatology community.

The ACR regularly engages with these external entities in strategic relationships that affirm and support its mission and core values. When structured correctly, the ACR asserts that these relationships can be ethical, positive, and productive.

These strategic relationships are governed by the ACR Guiding Principles for Interactions with External Entities.

Corporate Supporters
