National Rosacea Society Research Grant Program
The Society awards grants of $10,000 to $25,000 or higher in special cases for research on rosacea. Because the etiology of rosacea is unknown, high priority is given to research in such areas as the pathogenesis, progression, mechanism of action, cell biology and potential genetic factors of this conspicuous and often life-disruptive condition. Studies may also be funded in such areas as epidemiology, predisposition, quality of life and associations with environmental and lifestyle factors. Product development studies (e.g., drug or device testing), which are more appropriately funded by commercial sources, will not be considered.
The National Rosacea Society is currently accepting proposals for research grants to be awarded in 2012. Applications should be submitted by April 16, 2012.
For more information, call the Society at 847/382-8971.
