04/21/2014
La Roche-Posay is accepting grant application for its “Dermatologist from the Heart” program in the United States. Now in its second year in the US, “Dermatologist from the Heart” aims to support initiatives designed to enhance the quality of life for patients.
Through this program, the La Fondation La Roche-Posay will further its goal of making the invaluable skills, knowledge and expertise of dermatologists available to the broader public. The “Dermatologist from the Heart” initiative will award a grant to the most compassionate project spearheaded by dermatologists that seek to enhance patients' quality of life.
Applications for the 2015 “Dermatologist from the Heart” program are due by September 1, 2014. Winners will be announced at the awards ceremony held at the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery annual meeting in November.
In order to be considered, entrants must submit a grant proposal to the La Fondation La Roche-Posay outlining their project, which should fall under one of the following five categories:
· Information and Prevention (information workshops, disease-prevention advice, school initiatives, screening campaigns…)
· Health Professional Training (nurses, dermatologists, other doctors/professionals…)
· Advice and Support (psychological support for patients and those around them, helping patients to accept their illness, lifestyle advice, improving self-esteem…)
· Improving Social Integration (make-up workshops, behavioral therapies, activities for children with skin diseases, group support sessions…)
· Improving Access to Healthcare (free screenings/consultations, physician's visits, consultations in remote areas…)
A five-member panel will then assess each submission and award a winner based on the proposal's originality, creativity, impact on patients' quality of life, method and feasibility. The winner will receive $10,000 to support carrying out the proposed project.
All dermatologists practicing in the country are eligible to apply. Interested applicants must submit their grant proposal to:
