Description
The NEA Engagement Grant, offered by the National Eczema Association, is designed to support emerging investigators as they pursue early-stage, self-contained research projects in eczema. The grant provides up to $5,000 for projects that test new concepts, pilot experiments, or analyze novel data, with the aim of generating preliminary results that can serve as the basis for larger future proposals. Projects must align with at least one of NEA’s five research priorities: basic and translational science, eczema heterogeneity, clinical practice innovation, disease burden, or prevention.
