Introducing New GRAPPA Projects.

Every year at the Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA) annual meeting, new project ideas are presented and discussed with a view to obtaining feedback and support. Arising from previous work, a project proposal was presented at the 2023 meeting; the project aims to improve early diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) by comparing a physician-based vs a patient questionnaire-based approach. This project has received the backing of the GRAPPA research committee, but additional funding will be required. A second project, approved by GRAPPA, was presented on delivering an epidemiology training module before the GRAPPA annual meeting in 2024, which will target both established GRAPPA clinicians and trainees. Attendance at such a module would enhance the quality of research in psoriatic disease.
