Research
Well over 100 researchers have received CDF grants advancing investigation into a wide range of skin diseases.
The independent Scientific Advisory Committee supervises the annual competition for CDF Research Grants, which range from $5,000 to $75,000. Applications are peer-reviewed against strict criteria to ensure that the science warrants funding.
Formal presentation of grants takes place at the Annual CDF Research Grants Awards Reception.
