Nordic Dermatology Association Research Grant 2026
Open for application August 17th – October 11th!
Nordic Dermatology Association (NDA) will continue supporting Nordic research by awarding NDA Research Grants also in 2026. A total of 150,000 SEK in grants will be awarded to one (or split between several) dermatological trainee or either resident or a recently approved specialist in dermatology and venereology (up to three years of clinical experience) working in a Nordic country and who is either a PhD student or a Postdoctoral researcher at their early career. Priority will be given to those who have not received NDA grant previously.
Research projects on dermatological diseases with few funding possibilities and planned Nordic collaboration or mobility involving research visit to another Nordic country are considered advantageous.
The applications will be evaluated by the NDA Research Committee according to their clinical and scientific importance and feasibility.
Applications should be written in English and NDA research grant application-template must be used. As attachments a short research plan (maximum 3 pages including references and focusing on study aims, research methods and study relevance) and in case of planned mobility, invitation letter from the welcoming research group leader, must be included.
NDA research application template and attachments should be sent as a single pdf-file.
Applications not meeting the criterion will not be evaluated.
Researchers receiving a NDA Research Grant are expected to provide an update and preliminary results of their research project to the NDA board within one year.
Applications can be sent between August 17th and October 11th, 2026 to: info@nordicdermatology.com.
