NIH Autoimmune Diseases Coordinating Committee

The NIH Autoimmune Diseases Coordinating Committee (ADCC) is a group within the National Institutes of Health that promotes collaboration and strategic planning among various research institutes focused on autoimmune diseases—conditions where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues. The committee aims to coordinate research efforts, share knowledge, and support initiatives to better understand autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and multiple sclerosis. Its goal is to accelerate the development of effective treatments and improve outcomes for people affected by these diseases through unified research efforts.
