Description
The NEA Catalyst Grant, offered by the National Eczema Association, provides seed funding to early-career researchers aiming to establish innovative lines of inquiry in eczema research. The program is designed to help investigators gather preliminary data that can support future applications for larger grants, such as those from the NIH. Supported research should align with NEA’s priorities, including basic and translational science, understanding eczema heterogeneity, clinical innovations, alleviating disease burden, and prevention strategies.
