Description
The National Psoriasis Foundation (NPF) Discovery Grants support researchers exploring preliminary ideas and conducting proof-of-concept experiments in psoriatic disease and related comorbidities. The goal is to establish new research programs positioned to compete for subsequent funding from the National Institutes of Health, industry, or similar sources.
Applications addressing all aspects of psoriatic disease are encouraged, including basic science, technology development, public health, and clinical research. Review prioritizes meaningful collaborations that could open significant new lines of inquiry into root causes and potential cures. Applicants are encouraged to consider published research gaps and priorities, including thematic areas in NPF’s FY25–29 Strategic Plan.
