Lupus Research Agencies
The Lupus Research Institute (LRI) is the nation’s only nonprofit organization solely dedicated to novel research in lupus. We are a member of the LRI National Coalition of Lupus Agencies, a powerful network of state and local lupus organizations united to prevent, treat and cure lupus by advocating for lupus on Capitol Hill. The Lupus Alliance of America, Inc. and its Affiliates have donated over $350,000 to the LRI for novel research. Visit the Lupus Research Institute at www.lupusresearchinstitute.org/lupus
