David Felson Awarded NIH Grant to Study Osteoarthritis
David Felson, MD, MPH, professor of medicine and epidemiology at Boston University Schools of Medicine and Public Health, was awarded a National Institutes of Health (NIH) P30 Center Grant.
As a member of the section of Rheumatology and the Boston University Core Center for Clinical Research, Dr. Felson’s five-year $3.6 million award will provide broad clinical research methods expertise to a large multidisciplinary group of investigators whose research focuses on osteoarthritis and gout with a secondary emphasis on scleroderma, spondyloarthritis, osteoporosis and musculoskeletal pain.
The group, which includes persons with backgrounds in rheumatology, physical therapy, epidemiology, biostatistics and behavioral science, meets weekly to critically review research projects and serves a broad research community with which it actively engages. It has been successful in publishing influential papers on the diseases of focus and in training many of the clinical research faculty in the US and internationally.
