About National Eczema Association

National Eczema Association centers its grantmaking on eczema research, with recent awards moving from early-stage pilot work to larger projects for established investigators. The strongest recent signal is a $174,977 research grant to UC San Francisco in 2023, followed by another $80,000 award there in 2025, showing sustained support for the same research institution across years. Other large grants went to Emory University and Massachusetts General Hospital, indicating that the foundation backs academic medical centers working on eczema science and care. Its active research portfolio includes the NEA Engagement Grant for very small exploratory studies, the NEA Catalyst Grant for early-career scientists, the NEA Spotlight Grant for strategic areas of eczema research, the NEA Champion Grant for established researchers, and a childhood-focused challenge grant developed with PeDRA. The organization also funds clinical-trials participation and patient-facing work through its broader mission areas, which include patient education, advocacy, and product safety standards. Recent grants are all to U.S. institutions, and the foundation’s stated program geography is national with global and international research categories in its active grant programs.

What National Eczema Association Funds

In 2024, it awarded $66,666 to Emory University for research, and in 2025 it gave $50,001 to UC San Diego for research, reflecting support for academic medical centers studying eczema science and care. The foundation also funds pediatric and family-facing research priorities. Through the Childhood Eczema Challenge Grant, it supports work on childhood eczema, including disease mechanisms, treatments, burden, and prevention. Another strand is investigator development. The NEA Catalyst Grant supports early-career scientists, while the NEA Engagement Grant funds pilot experiments and novel data analysis. On the patient side, its broader mission includes education and support, advocacy and policy, and product safety and certification through the Seal of Acceptance.
