The International Sjögren's Syndrome Registry is funded by the NIDCR, the National Eye Institute, and the NIH Office of Research on Women's Health. The goal of the registry is to promote research on Sjögren's syndrome with an emphasis on diagnosis, epidemiology, causes, prevention and treatment.

A collaborative group of clinical and laboratory investigators from around the world work together to study individuals with Sjögren’s syndrome and those who may have Sjögren's syndrome. This collaborative group of scientists is known as the Sjögren's International Collaborative Clinical Alliance (SICCA).
