Alopecia Areata Initiative Request for Research Proposals

Innovation Awards Program 2012

The Alopecia Areata Initiative is pleased to announce the first round of 2012 Innovation Awards. These awards provide $400,000 in research funding over two years and are designed to help further our understanding of the human alopecia areata disease process. Please click here for the 2012 AAI Funding Announcement and application form.

The intent of this program is to provide support to eligible institutions for the development and enhancement of educational opportunities in psoriasis research through stipend awards for non-ACGME accredited fellowships.  The NPF is committed to advancing the science and practice of medicine by providing educational support for the physicians of the future.

Since requests for the Psoriasis Fellowship Program will likely exceed available funds, the process will be competitive.  Institutions may request funding for the stipend of one or more fellows.  Grants may not exceed $40,000. The 2012 Application Guidelines and forms can be downloaded at http://www.psoriasis.org/fellowship.

Applications will be accepted online through our secure website. The deadline is February 17^th, 2012. 

The applications will be evaluated by a committee of peer reviewers.  Notification of awards will be made in early April for a fellowship term of July 1, 2012 – June 30, 2013.
