In our prologue, we introduce the papers that summarize this meeting.A summary of the research conducted by the recipients of the 2019 Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA) Research Awards is presented. Dr. Alla Ishchenko's project was "Role of Metabolomics in Diagnosis, Disease Severity, and Progression in Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis A 2-year Prospective Pilot Study" and Dr. Zhenrui Shi's project was "Preclinical Analysis of CCR6 and CCL20 in Mouse and Human Joints, Respectively, as Targets of Therapeutic Intervention in Psoriatic Arthritis."Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a rare inflammatory condition of the large blood vessels that affects the aorta and its branches. Young females of Asian descent are typically the most affected by this disease; however, in the United States, most patients with TA are White1,2,3.Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) presents with diverse features of musculoskeletal inflammation that affect both axial and peripheral joints as well as entheses, tenosynovium, and bursae. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the imaging modality that is uniquely capable of identifying pathology in all these structures. The Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA) Magnetic Resonance Imaging Working Group has increasingly explored diverse MRI methodologies for the purposes of quantifying inflammatory and structural abnormalities in clinical trials and research. The 2020 GRAPPA virtual workshop presented an opportunity to review progress in the field, summarize the status of MRI scoring systems developed for PsA, and review representative patient cases.Throughout 2020, the Group for Resear
