Awards Program |

| Introduction |
| |
| The DF's Research
Awards Program offers career development awards,
fellowships, and grants that are intended to
advance the early research efforts of individuals in
dermatology and cutaneous biology. An emphasis is
placed on supporting research that benefits the
dermatology community at large and has significant
potential to advance patient care. It is the
expectation that the recipients of Foundation awards
will be tomorrow’s expert teachers, innovative
investigators and master clinicians in dermatology. |

| Important Information for Dermatology Department Chairs and Mentors |
| |
| Letters of support are important components required for all DF research awards. Department chairs and applicant mentors are asked to pay close attention to the content required in the letters and comments of support. Chairs are required to submit their comments of support using the “Chairs Comments of Support” form. Research Grant applications require a letter of support from the Chair only if the applicant is not applying for a career development award.
Mentors are always 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 a Career Development Award |
| |
| Recipients of career development awards may request renewal for a second or third year of funding. Renewal requests for 2010 are due to the Foundation office no later than November 2, 2009. Instructions for preparing a renewal package can be found in section VI of the Applicant Instructions. |

| Information for Current Award Recipients |
| |
|
Award recipients can do something specific to help the Dermatology Foundation continue funding the research projects of today. The Foundation has prepared a PowerPoint slide to be used in your research presentations.
It reads: "The Dermatology Foundation has supported and advanced my career." Click here to view and download a copy of the PowerPoint DF slide.
