Current Funding Opportunities
Career Bridge Research Grant
Driven by PeDRA’s commitment to support both research and researchers in the field of pediatric dermatology, the Career Bridge Research Grant provides protected research time and resources for a mid-career clinician scientist to navigate the challenging mid-career phase and give them the potential to obtain larger-scale, longer-term funding from the NIH or other agencies.
DEADLINE: SEPTEMBER 21, 2023
Childhood Eczema Challenge Grant
PeDRA and the National Eczema Association (NEA) collaborate to support targeted clinical research investigations focused on pediatric eczema with the Childhood Eczema Challenge Grant.
