Strategic Plan 2021-2023
We have published our new Strategic Plan, which will guide the IFMRS for the next three years.
Among other things, the plan highlights the use of digital communications and digital platforms such as the MSK Knowledge Portal and HubLE to engage and share knowledge with an increasingly broad and diverse global audience, and our increasing focus on speaking with one voice to raise the profile of MSK research and influence effectively on behalf of our whole community.
The IFMRS Musculoskeletal Knowledge Portal
The Musculoskeletal Knowledge Portal (MSK-KP) is an open-access resource that aggregates, integrates, analyzes, and displays ‘omic results relevant to musculoskeletal traits and diseases. The MSK-KP will facilitate and accelerate musculoskeletal disease research by comprehensively amassing and distilling “big data” to make them accessible to all researchers.
