| Introduction |

| The Dermatology Foundation Research
Awards Program offers career development,
fellowships and grant awards that are intended to
advance the early research careers of individuals in
dermatology and cutaneous biology. An emphasis is
placed on supporting research that benefits the
dermatology community at large. It is the
expectation that the recipients of Foundation awards
will be tomorrow's clinical leaders in dermatology,
helping to shape the future of the entire specialty.

| Important
Change in 2008 Research Award Offerings—Women’s
Health CDA
|
| The Women's Health Career Development
Award will not be available in 2008, as indicated
previously. As a result, new applications for this
award will not be accepted this fall by the DF for the
funding year beginning July 1, 2008. Candidates
interested in pursuing a research project in women's
health may apply for the 2008 Research Career
Development Award. On behalf of the DF, we regret any
inconvenience this may have caused. Please note that a
new three-year Women's Health Career Development Award
will be available in 2009. |

| Important Information for Dermatology Department Chairs and Program Directors |
| |
| Department Chairs are required to
submit their comments of support using a Dermatology
Foundation form. Mentors are to provide a formal
letter of support. Applicants should be certain all
forms and/or letters cover the necessary topics before
they are submitted to the Foundation (see section
IV of the Applicant Instructions). Forms or
letters that do not meet the Foundation's content
requirements will cause an application to be
incomplete, and will be returned.
As in past years, the number of new applications
submitted by a single academic institution is
subject to a quota for each Foundation award (see
New Application Quotas). Requests for renewal of
career development awards are not subject to these
quotas. |
| |
| Renewing Career Development Award Recipients |
| |
| Recipients of career development awards
may request renewal for a second or
third year of funding. Renewal requests for 2008 are due to
the Foundation office no later than November 1,
2007. Instructions for preparing a renewal package
can be found in section VI of the Applicant
Instructions. |

specific to help the Dermatology Foundation continue
