Mission & Focus Areas

The Academy’s stated mission is to assure that dermatologists have access to high-quality education, research, and innovations, and that patients and the public have access to high-quality medical and surgical dermatologic care and information about prevention, care, and treatment. It also aims to facilitate quality dermatologic care, develop evidence-based clinical guidelines, and promote research in and prevention of diseases of the skin, hair, and nails.

Its filing describes scientific and educational meetings, digital and live education, communications about skin health, and the monthly Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology. The filing says its annual and summer meetings serve more than 19,000 attendees and present more than 500 educational sessions combined.

The 2024 grants show support for several kinds of organizations and purposes. For example, the Wildlife Conservation Society describes its mission as saving wildlife and wild places through science, conservation, education, and inspiring people to value nature. The Cheyenne Children’s Museum describes itself as a community catalyst and “WOW experience,” while Growing Gardens of Boulder County says it enriches community life through sustainable urban agriculture. Several grants supported shade structures. The filing says recipients of shade-structure grants must provide contractor bid documents before payment, have an association member attend the groundbreaking, and provide pictures of the completed structure.

Grantmaking

In filing year 2024, the Academy reported 17 grants totaling $285,579. Grant amounts ranged from $5,408 to $79,706, with a median of $8,000. The largest reported grants included $79,706 to the Wildlife Conservation Society for “Individual Giving,” $42,350 to the Dermatology Foundation for “Strategic Alliances-General,” $26,377 to Play and Park Structures for “Shade Structures,” and $23,100 to the University of Southern California for “Pathways-Mentor/Internships.” Other reported recipients included organizations receiving $8,000 for shade structures, including the Cheyenne Children’s Museum, Growing Gardens of Boulder County, and the Jewish Community Center in Louisville.

The Academy also lists awards and scholarships. The A. Paul Kelly, MD Research Award and Lectureship offers a $10,000 cash award and a lecture at the summer Innovation Academy; it recognizes dermatologists advancing understanding and treatment of skin conditions in underserved populations. The World Congress of Dermatology Scholarship offers complimentary registration and $2,250 in support for eligible U.S. and Canadian dermatology residents, fellows, or young dermatologists within five years of residency. The listed application process is closed, with the source stating it will open in 2027. The AAD Honorary Membership award recognizes exceptional leadership and service in dermatology; nominations may be submitted by an AAD member with a biography, at least six months before the annual meeting.
