Funding Opportunities

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.

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.
