Abstract

The Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA) was established in 2003 as an international collaborative group focused on psoriatic disease. GRAPPA has matured and become the foremost research and education society for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis in the world, involving dermatologists and rheumatologists from many countries. GRAPPA collaborates with other societies including the ACR, EULAR, SPARTAN, ASAS, and OMERACT in fostering its goals. As an investment in the future, GRAPPA nurtures young researchers and clinicians interested in psoriasis and PsA in order to develop the next generation of leaders in these fields of medicine.
