Research Grants
Since 1981, the Foundation has awarded over one million dollars to fund more than 100 projects. The awards provide funding for pilot studies that lead to improvements in the prevention and clinical management of skin cancer.
Funding is provided annually for basic research and clinical studies. Research must be conducted by dermatology residents, fellows, and young faculty (5-10 years post first academic appointment) from institutions within the US and educational programs related to skin cancer. Proposals are evaluated by the members of the Grants Review Committee. All projects are selected on the basis of their applicability to the Foundation's mission of reducing the incidence, morbidity and mortality of skin cancer.

The Skin Cancer Foundation is no longer accepting 2013 applications for grants supporting pilot research projects related to skin cancer. Grant recipients will be notified by Monday, December 3, 2012. Presentations will take place at the Foundation's Grant Awards Reception on Sunday, March 3, 2013, held at the Annual Meeting of The American Academy of Dermatology, in Miami, FL.
