The AAD Young Investigator Awards are given annually by the Academy to young dermatology researchers in the United States and Canada who demonstrate the potential to become established, independently funded investigators in the field. The purpose of the award is to recognize significant research advances in the science and practice of dermatology.
The award has two tracks, one for basic/translational research and another for clinical research. One recipient from each track will receive a $6,000 prize and an engraved plaque during the Academy’s Annual Meeting.

MD and DO applicants must have initiated the research after medical school, and applicants with a PhD must have initiated the research after their PhD thesis work.
