The National Alopecia Areata Foundation (NAAF) funds research to find a cure or acceptable treatment for alopecia areata, supports those with the disease, and educates the public about alopecia areata. NAAF Research Grant opportunities support scientists and clinicians at various levels of their careers and in numerous aspects of the field to pursue promising research ideas and innovative projects that will advance the development or discovery of safe, effective, affordable treatments and a cure for alopecia areata. NAAF is committed to supporting seasoned experts in alopecia areata research and treatment, as well as young scientists and clinicians building careers to become high-caliber, independent researchers with an enduring focus on research relevant to alopecia areata. In addition, NAAF also provides Bridge Grants to support highly meritorious National Institutes of Health (NIH) award applicants whose alopecia areata-related projects were well-scored, but not funded.
