Description
The American Contact Dermatitis Society (ACDS) supports clinical studies directed toward contact dermatitis through its Clinical Research Award. Studies focused on clinical problems, or with applications to clinical problems, receive preferential consideration. The ACDS Clinical Research Studies Committee evaluates proposals based on their aims and relevance, with sufficient project detail required for review.
The program also includes the James R. Nethercott Clinical Research Award Fund, which honors Dr. Nethercott’s memory and achievements. This award supports young investigators studying occupational dermatology and/or the epidemiology of contact dermatitis. Together, the awards support clinically relevant work by medical trainees and early-career dermatologists and investigators in North, Central, and South America.
