The British Skin Foundation funds UK and Republic of Ireland-based dermatology research, with a strong emphasis on clinically relevant projects that can improve diagnosis, treatment, and understanding of skin disease. Its portfolio shows particular interest in skin cancer, pediatric and adolescent dermatology, transplant-related skin complications, and early-stage or early-career research, including PhD studentships and fellowships. The foundation also appears to value translational work and projects that bridge laboratory science with practical patient impact.

Enfoque de Donación
Primarily competitive, peer-reviewed research grants with fixed deadlines; awards include small pilot grants up to £15,000, larger two-year grants up to £92,000, fellowships, and multi-year PhD studentships. Funding is mostly UK/ROI-based and often targeted to specific themes or career stages rather than open-ended general support.
Cómo acercarte a este financiador
Monitor the annual spring opening, as many major awards open 15 April and close 2 July at 13:00 BST. Proposals should be clearly dermatology-focused, UK/ROI-based, and designed with clinical relevance or translational impact in mind; applicants should also match the specific scheme to career stage or specialty area (for example, early-career, pediatric, transplant, or fellowship routes).
