Description
The Translational Research Grants, promoted by the Society for Investigative Dermatology and funded through the Hidradenitis Suppurativa Foundation (HSF), support innovative research projects focused on hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). These grants specifically target translational research—projects that bridge the gap between basic scientific discoveries and clinical implementation, with the goal of moving findings closer to patient impact. The program is designed to stimulate novel ideas in HS research and to help investigators generate data that will make their work competitive for larger, long-term funding from agencies such as the NIH.
