Osteoarthritis of the weight-bearing joints is a leading cause of disability and work disability in this country. Several studies suggest that the rural South may be especially hard-hit by arthritis and its resultant disabilities.<\/p>\n<p>From 1990-2017, Dr. Jordan served as the principal investigator of a large, community-based prospective cohort of individuals with osteoarthritis of the knee and hip in Johnston County, a rural North Carolina county. The Johnston County Osteoarthritis Project (JoCoOA) is the first program of its type to include both African-Americans and Caucasians, and is unique in its inclusion of radiographic, serologic, genetic, and physical and functional examinations of its participants. The study is designed to examine multiple potential causes of radiographic osteoarthritis and of pain, disability, and work disability. These include demographic, physical, metabolic and psychosocial factors, as well as diet and various aspects of the rural work and home environments. In 2017 Dr. Jordan was promoted to Vice Dean of UNC Faculty Affairs and Leadership Development, but remains an active investigator for the JoCoOA project.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Dr. Jordan has been the principal investigator of a large osteoarthritis genetics study and was one of the principal investigators of a genetics consortium to study heredity of osteoarthritis in families.<\/p>\n<p>She also served as Director of the UNC Thurston Arthritis Research Center, and Chief of the UNC Division of Rheumatology, Allergy &amp; Immunology.<\/p>\n<h2>Awards &amp; Honors<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Awards &amp; Involvement:<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Inductee, American Clinical and Climatological Association, the oldest medical society in America founded in 1884<\/li>\n<li>ACR Board of Directors<\/li>\n<li>Osteoarthritis Research Society International Clinical Research Award, 2007<\/li>\n<li>American College of Rheumatology Research &amp; Education Foundation Inaugural Award for Excellence in Investigative Mentoring, 2009<\/li>\n<li>Rural Sociological Society Distinguished Service to Rural Life Award, 2011<\/li>\n<li>Best Doctors in America, 2011<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\" \"><strong>National and International Leadership:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>American College of Rheumatology Board of Directors, 2014-present<\/li>\n<li>American College of Rheumatology Communications and Marketing Committee, 2010-2014<\/li>\n<li>Osteoarthritis Research Society International Board of Directors, 2010-2014<\/li>\n<li>Chair, Chronic Osteoarthritis Management Initiative of US Bone and Joint Initiative, 2012-2015<\/li>\n<li>Chair, Osteoarthritis Research Society International Initiative on Guidelines for Conducting Osteoarthritis Clinical Trials, 2012-2014<\/li>\n<li>Deputy Editor, Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, 2008-2016<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Awards to trainees:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>American College of Rheumatology Research &amp; Education Foundation Medical Student Research Preceptorship, Irina Perjar, 2011<\/li>\n<li>American College of Rheumatology Research &amp; Education Foundation Award of Excellence for Investigative Mentoring, 2009<\/li>\n<li>American College of Rheumatology Research &amp; Education Foundation Distinguished Fellow Award to trainee Amanda Nelson, 2009<\/li>\n<li>American College of Rheumatology Research &amp; Education Foundation Medical Student Achievement Award to Shelby Addison, 2009<\/li>\n<li>American College of Rheumatology Research &amp; Education Foundation Medical Student Preceptor Award, Lauren Abbate, 2009<\/li>\n<li>American College of Rheumatology Research &amp; Education Foundation Medical Student Preceptor Award, Shelby Addison, 2008<\/li>\n<li>American College of Rheumatology Research &amp; Education Foundation Graduate Student Preceptor Award, Yvonne Golightly, 2008<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2349,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"layout":"","cellInformation":"","apiCallInformation":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"ud_division":[104,85,103,81,70],"class_list":["post-3548","ud_entry","type-ud_entry","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","ud_division-all-faculty-profiles","ud_division-faculty-thurston-arthritis-research-center","ud_division-our-faculty-syndication","ud_division-rheumatology-emeritus-and-adjunct-faculty","ud_division-thurston-arthritis-research-center","odd"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Joanne M.
