The COVID-19 Global Rheumatology Alliance (GRA)

The COVID–19 Global Rheumatology Alliance was formed on March 12, 2020 as a grassroots response to the global COVID–19 pandemic. It represents the collaborative work of an international group of rheumatologists, researchers, and patient partners.

Our mission was: To collect, analyze and disseminate information about COVID-19 and rheumatology to patients, physicians and other relevant groups to improve the care of patients with rheumatic disease.

Below is the full curriculum vitae of the GRA, 66 publications spanning from 2020-2026:
