AARA Clinical Research got its beginning at one of America’s largest and most successful rheumatology groups, Arizona Arthritis & Rheumatology Associates (AARA). We have been conducting clinical research for over 30 years and have participated in over 800 research studies. We have a site network that includes 14 private practice offices in the United States, 140 dedicated research staff and 22 experienced Principal Investigators ready to take on all phases and types of clinical research.

All research staff are qualified by training, education, and experience to conduct clinical trials.
