Each year, the National Psoriasis Foundation (NPF) awards grants and fellowships that fund work focused on the treatment, prevention, and cure of psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and comorbidities. NPF has invested over $30 million in grants and fellowships focused on psoriatic disease and related comorbidities.

As a primary goal in the current strategic plan, leading transformational research in psoriatic disease, NPF chooses research projects not only for their potential to yield information that may help treat psoriatic disease, but also to answer basic questions about the underlying disease mechanisms, comorbidities, and public health. Applications undergo a rigorous scientific peer review by a panel of experts.
