SAA receives its fourth consecutive 4-star Charity Navigator Award.
SAA establishes its annual Early Career Investigator Award, which recognizes outstanding “contributions to the care and understanding of patients with spondyloarthritis.” The award winner gets a $10,000 grant from SAA for use in spondyloarthritis research.
SAA releases the first ever epidemiology study data conducted by the CDC in the U.S., supported by the SAA and by SPARTAN. CDC researchers use the data and statistical methodology from the SAA Screening Tool for Ankylosing Spondylitis as a foundation
for the patient questionnaire that was developed by the CDC for the 2009/2010 study. To date, manuscripts authored by researchers Drs. Reveille and Weisman have been accepted for publication by JAMA and by Arthritis and Research, the ACR peer review journal.
