Description
This award provides $100,000 in bridge funding to support the career development of early-career investigators (instructor through associate professor) working in dermatology or cutaneous biology, specifically for research advancing the understanding or treatment of mastocytosis. The aim is to foster new discoveries in basic or translational science related to mastocytosis, with special consideration for applicants who have not previously received significant independent funding. The grant is designed to help promising young investigators establish themselves as leaders in dermatological research.
