Description
The National Psoriasis Foundation (NPF) offers Bridge Grants to support researchers whose meritorious career-development or investigator-initiated applications have not received funding from the National Institutes of Health or a similar funding body. The program provides a critical year of support to maintain research while investigators work to secure additional funding.
Supported research focuses on psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and related comorbidities. The program aims to sustain investigators with a long-term commitment to psoriatic disease research and discoveries that bring a cure closer and improve patients’ lives. Its role is specifically to bridge the interval between an unfunded proposal and subsequent research support.
