合作工作
We work in partnership with others to maximise the impact of our research funding and allow us to achieve more than we could do on our own. We work with organisations across the UK and abroad including other research funders, universities, hospitals and commercial organisations. Some examples of our exciting partnership work are highlighted below.

UKMSK TRC的简介
UKMSK TRC的简介from the previous Chair, Professor Costantino Pitzalis
英国MSK TRC是什么？
The UK Musculoskeletal Translational Research Collaboration (UK MSK TRC) is a joint initiative between Versus Arthritis and the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) for early phase translational research. The collaboration brings together our previous investment in Experimental Arthritis and Osteoarthritis Treatment Centres with the NIHR infrastructure through their relevant Biomedical Research Centres.
By bringing together national expertise in musculoskeletal translational research, the collaboration aims to create a UK-wide ambition and focus to drive cutting edge translational research and will move us closer towards a world free from pain, fatigue and isolation of arthritis. The UK MSK TRC will also provide industry with streamlined access to world leading academic clinicians and scientists with expertise in conditions including:
- 结缔组织疾病
- inflammatory arthritis
- osteoarthritis
- 疼痛
In addition, by providing a network of expertise and a collaboration in which to undertake clinical studies, we hope that this collaboration will stimulate industry activity in musculoskeletal research and will play a role in increasing the investment in musculoskeletal research to levels that equate the scale of the impact of arthritis.
英国MSK TRC与健康和护理生态系统的所有领域合作，包括生命科学行业，慈善机构和其他资助者，以进一步研究肌肉骨骼疾病，并帮助开发新的诊断和治疗方法。定期审查未满足需求的领域，以确定可能成为该小组重点的新兴主题。
Patient and public involvement and engagement is a central theme of the TRC approach, through a strong relationship people with arthritis via both Versus Arthritis and the NIHR.
“By working together, we can accelerate the development of new treatments, devices and diagnostics to tackle complex areas of unmet healthcare needs.”

Arthritis Research UK MQ Fellows award
我们加入了心理健康研究慈善机构，MQ: Transforming Mental Health, to award a fellowship to Dr Sam Norton at King’s College London in 2016. The project aims to create an app to help healthcare professionals track symptoms and identify people with rheumatoid arthritis at risk of ongoing problems, including mental health issues. We awarded the 2017 MQ fellows award to Dr Jessica Eccles from Brighton and Sussex Medical School, who will be creating and testing a new therapy to treat anxiety in people with hypermobility. We will be looking to fund more fellowships alongside MQ.
医学研究委员会
MRC资金研究了整个生物医学谱系的研究，从基于实验室的科学到临床试验以及所有主要疾病领域。我们与MRC建立了长期的资金合作伙伴关系，包括：
- MRC-Arthritis Research UK Centre for Musculoskeletal Ageing Research
- MRC-Arthritis Research UK Centre for Integrated Research into Musculoskeletal Ageing
- 关节炎研究英国MRC肌肉骨骼健康与工作中心
我们也有一些其他的共同战略awards, as well as the latest partnership to fund a clinician scientist fellowship in the musculoskeletal research field, which hopes to further build on musculoskeletal research leadership in the UK.
National Centre for the Replacement, Refinement and Reduction of Animals in Research (NC3Rs)
NC3RS是一个由政府资助的独立科学组织，其目的是减少用于研究和改善动物研究质量的动物数量。我们共同确定了关节炎动物模型具有进一步应用3R相关技术或方法的潜力。
To address this, we’ve come together with the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) to co-fund and co-sponsor a NC3Rs CRACK-IT challenge. CRACK IT Challenges are competitions that fund collaborations between industry, academics and SMEs to solve scientific and business challenges involving animals. The title of the CRACK-IT challenge is 'Osteo-Chip: an in vitro model to recapitulate the human osteoarthritis joint', it aims to develop an advanced in vitro model of the human osteoarthritic joint.
Design Council SPARK
我们与设计委员会合作，为他们的Spark产品创新基金（Spark Product Innovation Fund）合作，这是一项快速轨道计划，提供指导和定制培训，以帮助英国基于英国的产品发明者开发其市场产品。2017年的奖项授予了杰夫·罗兰森（Geoff Rolandsen）的《沃基钥匙》（Workey Key Turner）的发明，该产品有助于缓解钥匙的使用和管理，特别受到降低的手动灵活性的产品。
