Description
The Bridge Grants program from the National Psoriasis Foundation (NPF) supports researchers who have submitted meritorious but unfunded K-type (career development) or R-type (investigator-initiated) applications to the NIH or comparable agencies, with a focus on psoriatic disease or its comorbidities. The grant provides a critical year of additional funding, enabling investigators to maintain research momentum while seeking long-term support. This initiative is designed to help researchers continue their work and ultimately secure future funding, furthering progress toward improved outcomes and a cure for psoriatic disease.
