2020 Research Grant Applications Period is Now Closed.

One of the main missions of the DPAF is to fund research and thanks to a generous research grant from SUN PHARMA, we can. 

The 2021 application cycle in February 2021.  Please visit this page in 2021 for more details about the next application cycle.

Examples of the type of research we hope to support are:

  • PAs impact on dermatology patients
  • PAs value overall in the healthcare system with regards to dermatology
  • PA led research for dermatology conditions

Submitted proposals will each be reviewed by two or six reviewers on a panel of content experts. In 2020, DPAF will award up to four (4) one-year grants.

Complete applications will be blinded by research staff before being reviewed by DPAF’s grant review committee.  Learn about previously awarded projects.
