Standing Committee for Clinical Affairs
EULAR/ACR collaborative projects
For initiatives with international relevance, such as development and validation of criteria sets of development of recommendations for conducting clinical trials, the Standing Committee seeks collaboration with the Quality-of-care Committee of the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) through its Criteria subcommittee. EULAR and ACR strive for a transparent and collaborative relationship in order to avoid overlaps and realize synergies.
