Childhood skin diseases are associated with a severe burden on patients, families, and healthcare providers. Despite this burden, effective treatments remain sparse, and the pace of research remains slow. To help overcome these challenges while developing the next generation of leaders in the field, in 2023 the Pediatric Dermatology Research Alliance (PeDRA) will be launching the Emerging Investigator Research Grant program to support short-term (12-week maximum) mentored research experiences for medical students and pediatric residents to conduct projects relevant to pediatric dermatology. The expectation is that awardees will complete Emerging Investigator Research Grant projects during the summer (e.g., between MS1 and MS2) or another suitable time that is mutually agreed upon with a project mentor.
