About the Award

The project should be a small or pilot project.

Applicants are expected to demonstrate the value of the project to dermatology.

 No ‘top-ups’ or extensions are available for any reason.

 The maximum duration of the award is 1 year (although this may be extended by negotiation where there are issues around flexible working or career breaks/maternity leave).

Successful awards must be activated within 12 months.

Awards are claimed by authorised finance departments submitting a single invoice for the full amount.

Over £8 million has been awarded in research funding.

Our website is full of ideas about how you can help our cause, as well as information about skin diseases.
