Welcome to the
Vasculitis Patient-Powered Research Network (VPPRN)!

A Partnership of the Vasculitis Clinical Research Consortium (VCRC) and the Vasculitis Foundation (VF)


The VPPRN, including the Pediatric Registry of the VPPRN (PedsVPPRN), is an online, global patient-centered registry working towards a common goal: to improve the quality of life for all patients across all types of vasculitis and ages.

As the research arm of the Vasculitis Foundation, the VPPRN conducts patient-centered clinical research – in other words, we strive to find answers to the questions most important to patients living with vasculitis.


Let's begin! To start, tell us who you are.

Why research matters

Vasculitis is a rare disease that can affect anyone, at any age. Because doctors are still learning what causes it, there’s a lot we don’t know. Research helps us understand the disease better, find more effective treatments, and improve the quality of life for people living with vasculitis.

Together we make a difference.
