Who We Are & How We Help

The Global Autoimmune Institute empowers solutions in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and cure of autoimmune disease by funding scientific research and collaborations, and by providing science-based education and information to the autoimmune disease community.

Research

We are increasing knowledge and progress in autoimmune disease through the funding of scientific investigations and propelling collaboration and awareness in science and medicine. Information on some autoimmune diseases is much less available than others – we are on our way to help change that.

Current Research Grants & Projects Read more about Research
Education

Our website offers well-researched and thoughtful articles on the science of disease and daily management of health conditions. You can also find our Medical Institutions Directory, Autoimmune & Chronic Illness Toolkit, lists of other autoimmune organizations, books, apps, podcasts, and more.

Resources for Hope & Health Read more about Education
Awareness

We believe in the power of shared experiences. By highlighting real stories from those affected by autoimmune diseases, we foster awareness, reduce stigma, and create a supportive environment for all.
