Description
This program, jointly administered by the Society for Pediatric Dermatology (SPD) and the Pediatric Dermatology Research Alliance (PeDRA), funds projects that create evidence-based consensus guidelines, best-practice recommendations, or consensus treatment plans for pediatric dermatologic diseases in the United States and Canada. The goal is to unify clinical approaches and improve the quality of care by supporting the development of expert-driven, standardized recommendations where contemporary guidelines are lacking. Priority is given to projects addressing diseases without up-to-date guidelines and those utilizing established consensus methodologies.
