The Dermatology Foundation was created in 1964 by a group of concerned dermatologists in order to advance patient care through research. The nonprofit organization raises funds from members of the specialty and the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry to support a broad-based program of research investigations, clinical and scientific publications and Continuing Medical Education programs for today’s dermatologists.

The Foundation is second only to the federal government as a source of funding for dermatologic research that addresses the practice concerns of the entire specialty.
