February 27, 2024 – PeDRA is thrilled to announce the recipients of the 2023 Consensus Grant Program and 2023 Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) Pilot Grant.
PeDRA’s Grants and Fellowships Program is driven by PeDRA’s mission to create, inspire, and sustain research to prevent, treat, and cure childhood skin disease. The Consensus Grant Program provides up to $25,000 of support for the creation of consensus recommendations, best practice recommendations, or consensus treatment plans for the treatment of diseases in the field of pediatric dermatology in the United States and/or Canada. In 2023, PeDRA launched the HS Pilot Grant, designed to improve the quality of care and long-term health outcomes for HS patients for whom disease onset occurs before adulthood. This grant offers up to $25,000 to support one year of research.
