DESCRIPTION

Open admission to eligible categories, no tuition or ticket

Hair loss among diverse populations and skin of color have been underfunded. Since 2021, HAIR research grants have been offered to dermatologists, researchers, and trainees in the United States for basic, translational, and/or clinical research projects that address gaps in hair disorders research, with emphasis on hair disorders in diverse populations. This session will describe the HAIR grant research program and projects funded to date.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1.

Discuss the goals of the HAIR grant program in terms of underfunded research initiatives in diverse populations and/or skin of color

2.

Identify areas of research considered a priority via this grant including central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, traction alopecia, and areas of racial differences or disparities in care involving androgenetic alopecia in women, frontal fibrosing alopecia, lichen planopilaris, the role of nutrition in hair loss, and environmental/genetic factors in hair loss.

3.

Provide progress and research updates from HAIR research grants awarded in 2022
