Funding New Project Ideas

Dermatology Foundation grants are annual awards of $25,000. They provide funding that enables recipients to initiate a research project. All grants require the submission of a budget that details the planned use of award funds, and a research/development proposal. Award funds may not be used for the payment of indirect costs, salary, or travel for the principal investigator. MD; MD, PhD; and DO applicants must be no greater than 12 years beyond their terminal degree, and Ph.D. candidates must be no greater than 8 years beyond their terminal degree — as of January 1, 2024.  

Available Grant Opportunities

Patient Directed Investigation Grant | Research Grant

Know Before You Apply

All Foundation-funded research must be conducted in the U.S. under the sponsorship of a department/division of dermatology that is ACGME-approved for training in dermatology. Applicants must meet the DF’s general eligibility requirements, in addition to award-specific requirements presented on or before the time of funding. Applicants from minority populations are encouraged to apply.

The DF encourages applications concerning health issues impacting applicants from minority populations, including, but not limited to, racial minorities, sexual ¬ gender/LGBTQ minorities, and underserved/disadvantaged populations.

Research Funding FAQs

Am i eligible.

All DF-funded research must be conducted in the U.S. under the sponsorship of a department/division of dermatology that is ACGME-approved for training in dermatology. A project to be performed as a part of the U.S. government research program (except Veterans Administration), or to be performed at a private foundation without an academic affiliation to dermatology, is not eligible for funding. A project involving human subjects must have IRB approval at the time funding commences, i.e., July 1, and throughout the term of the award.

An individual who is a prior or current principal investigator (PI) on a federal grant is not eligible to receive a DF career development award, fellowship or grant. The following two exceptions apply:

1) CDA awardees may have effort on an NIH grant as long as he/she is not the senior PI who initiated the application and he/she does not have direct reporting responsibilities for this or prior federal awards. Total support from all federal grants must be less than 20% of their total effort during the term of the DF award.

2) The individual is the recipient of an NIH training grant or an equivalent grant from another granting agency.

Upon receipt as the PI of a federal grant, a DF CDA or grant will be withdrawn. Note, an individual who receives a federal grant that eliminates their status as a "new investigator" is not eligible to maintain/receive a DF CDA.

Fellowship recipients may receive NIH training grants or an equivalent grant from another granting agency.

Important Note: The Foundation utilizes the NIH definitions of “principal investigator” and “coinvestigator” to administer this policy, as found in the Glossary of NIH Terms.

How do I apply for a research funding?

The DF is now accepting applications for career development awards, fellowships and research grants via our CDAFG Research Award Application Portal . The Applicant Instructions provided below include essential information potential applicants need to know to evaluate the various award opportunities and develop a successful application and research proposal. Interested individuals are strongly encouraged to read sections II and III before assembling their application.

The DF has also prepared a Quick Reference Guide to enable users to quickly acclimate to the online application system.

Application deadline: October 15, 2024

The Patient Directed Investigation Grant  exists to support translational studies that have the potential to benefit patients directly. Such studies may concern medical dermatology, dermatologic surgery, procedural dermatology, pediatric dermatology, or other aspects of the specialty that impact patient care.  

The Foundation’s Research Grants provide financial support for research projects in dermatology and cutaneous biology that benefit the dermatology community at large.

Computational Drug Discovery of Novel Small-Molecule Inhibitor Chemotypes of GNAQ (Gq) Signaling

GNAQ (Gq) is a heterotrimeric G protein implicated in numerous dermatologic diseases, with Sturge-Weber Syndrome and uveal melanoma being the two most well known. Despite decades of research, a specific small-molecule direct inhibitor of Gq had not been  identified until I recently discovered the first putative Gq inhibitor. This project aims to use computational drug discovery to continue identifying novel small molecule Gq inhibitor chemotypes.

Janet Berlo wins Native American Art Studies Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award

A professor emerita in the  Department of Art and Art History , Janet Berlo has been honored by the Native American Art Studies Association with the 2023 Lifetime Achievement Award for her more than 40 years of contributions to the scholarly field of Native American art.

Berlo, who retired from the University after 23 years in 2020, is an expert on Native American art and visual culture, the politics of representation, and museum studies and critiques. Most recently, she penned Not Native American Art: Fakes, Replicas, and Invented Traditions (University of Washington Press, 2023), which traces the historical and social contexts of forgeries, imitations, replications, and appropriations by both Native and non-Native makers. The book is based on decades of research and interviews with curators, collectors, restorers, Native artists, and replica makers.

In April 2024, Confluences: A Celebration of Janet Berlo was held at Rochester to recognize Berlo’s career as a scholar, educator, artist, and mentor.

Marc Brown honored for lifetime achievement in Mohs surgery

Marc Brown, a professor of dermatology , received the Frederic E. Mohs Award for Career Achievement from the  American College of Mohs Surgery  at its annual meeting.

Mohs surgery is a technique that removes skin cancer in stages, one tissue layer at a time. The award recognizes individuals who promote Mohs surgery throughout their career with teaching, clinical practice, scientific contributions, innovation, mentorship, and service to ACMS.

Brown lectures and teaches peers and students at local and national meetings focusing on Mohs surgery, melanoma, facial reconstruction, and challenging and unusual skin cancers. He performs Mohs surgery on over 2,000 patients per year and has performed a total of more than 25,000 Mohs procedures.

Jennifer Kyker, Sevak Mkrtchyan named Fulbright US Scholars

Two Rochester faculty members will soon be heading overseas after being named Fulbright US Scholars for the 2024–25 academic year.

Jennifer Kyker , a professor of ethnomusicology in the Arthur Satz Department of Music in the School of Arts & Sciences and at the Eastman School of Music , will introduce an important archival collection of images by pioneering Zimbabwean photographer Chicago Dzviti to local and global audiences in Zimbabwe.

Kyker previously arranged for Dzviti’s portfolio of more than 4,000 images to be permanently housed at Rochester . She intends to curate selected images as part of a multimedia exhibit at the National Gallery of Zimbabwe in 2025, and to collaborate with faculty and graduate students at the University of Zimbabwe to build a digital archive parallelling the physical exhibit.

Dzviti, who died in 1995, captured a broad spectrum of Zimbabwean social, cultural, and musical life through his lens.

Sevak Mkrtchyan , an associate professor in the Department of Mathematics and codirector of graduate studies in mathematics, will head to Armenia, where he will teach a course on stochastic processes and organize a research seminar for students at Yerevan State University.

In addition to teaching, Mkrtchyan intends to conduct research on the completeness properties of random integer sequences, random polymers, and on some aspects of asymptotic representation theory.

Mkrtchyan, a native of Armenia, has a long history of engagement in that country, including organizing a program on Markov chains in 2021 and initiating the online Yerevan Mathematics Colloquium. More recently, with the help of local institutions in Yerevan, he has been organizing an online lecture series to deliver high-quality courses at the level of honors programs in the United States to talented high school and undergraduate students in Armenia.

The Fulbright US Scholars program is the flagship United States academic exchange effort, administered by the Council for International Exchange of Scholars on behalf of the US Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
