| | | The DF Mission | | Celebrating 48 Years of Commitment to the Health and Vitality of Dermatology The Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)3, charitable organization. Its mission is to provide research support that helps develop and retain tomorrow's teachers and researchers in dermatology, and enables advancements in patient care. The DF's purpose is critical to the future of dermatology because it enables new generations of talented, research-focused dermatologists to have the support they need to stay on the academic and research career path. The Foundation provides the best and brightest investigators with hard-to-find research funding that helps bridge the gap between residency/fellowship and independent funding. With early research support from the DF, tomorrow's educators and leaders are able to conduct quality research that later enables them to compete successfully for federal funding. Researchers' success in obtaining federal grants is crucial to their ability to develop new therapies and concepts about skin disease, to train others for the future, and therefore, to advance the specialty. The DF is grateful to its many member physicians, specialty societies, and corporate supporters for their generous contributions over the past 48 years. Their contributions have helped to advance dermatologic care and ensure the development of the specialty’s emerging teachers and investigators. Become a member and support the future of dermatology.
