Each year the Academy recognizes outstanding basic, translational, and clinical research by young dermatology investigators in the United States and Canada through the AAD Young Investigator Awards. The purpose of the award is to acknowledge significant research advances in the science and practice of dermatology by those beginning their research careers and who demonstrate the potential to become established, independently-funded investigators in dermatology.
The Academy offers a basic/translational research award track and a clinical research award track. One basic/translational researcher and one clinical researcher will be selected as the recipients of the awards. Each recipient will receive a $6,000 prize and be recognized with an engraved plaque during the Academy’s Annual Meeting.
