Description
The Pediatric Dermatology Research Alliance (PeDRA) Research Fellowships Program supports one year of mentored research for post-graduate trainees and medical students. The program advances active pediatric dermatology research projects while developing the next generation of physician scientists. It responds to the substantial burden of childhood skin disease on patients, families, and health care providers, alongside limited effective treatments and slow research progress.
The program is guided by PeDRA’s mission to prevent, treat, and cure childhood skin disease. Priority consideration goes to mentored projects demonstrating meaningful and sustained engagement with the patient advocacy community. Additional priority goes to projects aligned with the scientific focus, strategic priorities, and ongoing initiatives of PeDRA’s Focused Study Groups.
