Study Support Grants – ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS
To fund statistical and/or publication support of active PeDRA Studies
Consensus Grant Program – CLOSED
Evidence-based consensus guidelines published by experts in the management of disease are a critical fiber of the healthcare fabric. Healthcare providers rely on guidelines to inform treatment decisions and insurance providers rely on guidelines to design formularies. Researchers compare new therapeutic or procedural interventions to standard-of-care practice guidelines in randomized controlled trials. However, many diseases still lack up-to-date guidelines, resulting in wide variability in practice patterns, and leaving many patients without access to treatment they need. Evidence-based guidelines and expert consensus best practice recommendations are lacking for many pediatric skin diseases.
Pediatric Alopecia Areata Challenge Grant – CLOSED
PeDRA and the National Alopecia Areata Foundation (NAAF) collaborate to support research investigations focused on pediatric alopecia areata with the Pediatric Alopecia Areata Challenge Grant. Through this grant, NAAF and PeDRA intend to accelerate research that improves the lives of pediatric alopecia areata patients and their families.
PeDRA Research Grants – CLOSED
Intended to provide financial support for early-stage studies that are unlikely to be funded elsewhere, and to provide a mentorship opportunity for both grant preparation and project execution. Ultimately, PeDRA Research Grants are expected to generate data, establish research infrastructure, and foster collaborations that form the basis for larger scale studies with a high impact on patient lives.
William Weston Career Development Award – CLOSED
The Weston CDA is driven by PeDRA’s and SPD’s commitment to support both research and researchers in the field of pediatric dermatology. It is intended to provide protected research time, resources, and expert mentorship for an early career clinician scientist. Ultimately, the Weston CDA is expected to help position the recipient for a long-term career in the field with the potential to obtain funding from the Dermatology Foundation, NIH, or other agencies in future.
Career Bridge Research Grant – CLOSED
The Career Bridge Research Grant is driven by PeDRA’s commitment to support both research and researchers in the field of pediatric dermatology. It is intended to provide protected research time and resources for a mid-career clinician scientist conducting high-impact research in the field. Ultimately, the Career Bridge Research Grant is expected to propagate the career of the recipient through the challenging mid-career phase and give them the potential to obtain larger-scale, longer-term funding from the NIH or other agencies.
