The Arthritis National Research Foundation and the Pediatric Dermatology Research Alliance invite applications from early career investigators studying diseases that affect both pediatric joints and skin. Eligible applicants must be within seven years of earning a post-baccalaureate doctoral degree (excluding clinical training). Preference will be given to clinical or basic (“foundational”) research projects, particularly those addressing conditions that impact both the skin and joints and are led by teams with expertise in pediatric rheumatology and pediatric dermatology. Each individual or lab may submit one application per annual cycle. Up to 50% of the applicant’s salary may be supported by the grant.
