Building on the organizational strengths and record of success, the Lupus Research Alliance (LRA) remains well positioned to drive the discovery and development of novel diagnostics and curative treatments on behalf of people living with lupus.
With the field on the cusp of next-generation advances, the mission and work of the LRA could not be more urgent or important. While we have made significant strides, our journey is far from over.
To guide our prospective efforts, we have developed a comprehensive five-year Strategic Plan that will serve as our guide for the immediate future. This plan encompasses several key components, including our Research Roadmap, which aligns seamlessly with our organizational key objectives. The strategic plan will ensure that the organization stays laser-focused on our desired outcomes.
It took a village to get us to this point, so I want to thank all that helped shape our organizational vision for the future, including our committed staff and Board of Directors. We remain steadfast in our commitment and will relentlessly pursue innovative means to achieve our mission.

Putting people with lupus at the center of all we do, the Lupus Research Alliance drives the discovery and development of next generation lupus diagnostics and curative treatments through innovative research and collaborations.
Our Values
Our Impact
By pushing the boundaries of scientific exploration, our efforts are bringing the lupus community closer to more personalized, effective therapies and diagnostics.
“Anti-malarials, steroids, and chemotherapy drugs with a slew of side effects were once the only options for lupus. Thanks to the LRA’s funding of research toward specific new treatments, I finally have a medication that targets my lupus directly, and my health has greatly improved with less flare-ups and virtually no pain.”
