National Psoriasis Foundation
The National Psoriasis Foundation (NPF) is one of the world's largest nonprofit organization[citation needed] serving people with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. The NPF provides information and services to help people manage their condition while supporting research to find a cure. In addition to serving more than 3 million people annually through patient and professional health education and advocacy initiatives, the NPF has funded more than $10 million in psoriatic disease research grants and fellowships.
The National Psoriasis Foundation (NPF) focuses on improving the health of people with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Through the organization's work to increase research, improve access to care, and expand knowledge of the psoriatic disease, the NPF aims to:[citation needed]
The NPF works to increase the number of dollars, scientists, and quality research projects devoted to psoriatic disease to find better treatments and a cure.
Each year, the NPF awards Discovery Grants and Translational Grants to support the start-up of new and innovative studies.
NPF Discovery Grants are one-year awards of up to $75,000 that fund researchers to explore preliminary ideas and conduct proof-of-concept experiments. The goal is to stimulate the development of new research programs in the field of psoriatic disease that are capable of competing for long-term funding from the National Institutes of Health or other agencies in the future. Funded research areas include, but are not limited to, genetics, cell biology, immunology, and epidemiology/health services.
NPF Translational Grants' are two-year awards up to $200,000 total that is focused on moving scientific discoveries generated during laboratory or clinical research into projects that clearly benefit patients. In 2015, the National Psoriasis Foundation and the Arthritis National Research Foundation collaborated on a special Psoriatic Arthritis Research Grant.
To address the shortage of clinicians with in-depth knowledge of the psoriatic disease, the National Psoriasis Foundation awards annual Medical Dermatology Fellowships. The fellowships, one-year awards up to $50,000, aim to increase the number of scientists focused on studying and treating psoriatic disease by encouraging young scientists to become physician researchers and dedicate their careers to psoriatic disease.
The National Psoriasis Victor Henschel BioBank is a collection of biological samples and clinical information used by qualified scientists to advance the field of psoriasis genetics. It is one of the largest collections of psoriasis DNA samples in the United States.
