Overview

The NEA Catalyst Research Grant aims to support early-career scientists focusing on eczema research, fostering independence in this critical field. By providing seed funding, the grant encourages innovative studies that can lead to further funding opportunities from larger entities like the NIH. Proposals should align with research priorities such as understanding eczema heterogeneity and developing clinical care innovations, ultimately contributing to the advancement of eczema treatment and prevention.

Purpose
This award is intended to stimulate the entry of early-career scientists into areas of research related to eczema, as they seek to become an independent research investigator with a commitment to this field.
Catalyst Research Grants provide promising early investigators with seed grants to help establish a novel and promising line of eczema research, and gather a preliminary, yet meaningful body of data to carry this area of study forward. Data from Catalyst awards can then be used to seek additional, larger-scale funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) or other funding entities to conduct additional investigations.
Proposals should address at least one of the following research priorities:

Cutting Edge Basic & Translational Science*
Eczema Heterogeneity: Novel Insights
Innovations in Clinical Practice & Care
Understanding & Alleviating Disease Burden
Eczema Prevention
