II 2016 DERMATOLOGY FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT

Report from the Trustees

Dear Colleagues: The Dermatology Foundation is truly a physician-led organization with nearly 200 volunteers from within our specialty helping to carry out our mission. These DF members invest their time and energy in fundraising, in serving on our Board of Trustees, and in reviewing dozens of research proposals each year to identify those with the greatest promise. They do so because they believe deeply in the need for research that advances physician practice and improves patient care. We appreciate these hard-working volunteers more than we can express and could not accomplish the work of the Foundation without them.

We must also extend our gratitude to the many individuals whose contributions this year made it possible to continue supporting promising novel research. We are also grateful for the corporate donors who recognize the importance of our work and continue their steadfast support.

Among this year's high points were two unexpected and magnificent gifts. Dr. Eugene J. Van Scott, the DF’s only remaining founder, donated $1 million for our Research Endowment Fund to ensure future funding, while long-time supporters Charles and Daneen Stiefel contributed $1 million for skin cancer research. We are humbled by their generosity and deeply grateful for the priority they place on our shared mission.

Annual support directly impacts the DF's capacity to fund research each and every year. If you are not yet a member, please consider joining us. For those who are members, please consider furthering both your financial commitment and your outreach to colleagues who would be proud to invest in the ground-breaking research the DF supports. The future of patient care depends on the investments we make today in innovative research completed by talented physician scientists and investigators.

I am indebted to the Stiefels and the Dermatology Foundation for supporting the basic science research into mechanisms of disease in pemphigus that facilitated the translational work in this study. This is an example of how focused study of a rare but well-defined disease has the potential to identify novel strategies to treat many other autoimmune diseases.

18 2016 DERMATOLOGY FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT Research Awards Recipients

he Dermatology Foundation is proud to present its 2017 research award recipients, whose T promising investigations span the field of dermatology. Through its Research Awards Program, the DF invested $2.6 million in research and individuals with outstanding potential to advance patient care.

CHARLES & DANEEN STIEFEL SCHOLAR AWARD in Autoimmune &/or Connective Tissue Diseases

This award provides $100,000 in annual support for up to three years for salary and/or project expenses. It was designed to support investigators committed to elucidating the basis, pathophysiology, clinical manifes- tations, and/or treatment of autoimmune and/or connective tissue diseases affecting adults and/or children. The Stiefel Scholar Award supports an outstanding early to mid-career investigator with an established trajectory of excellence in basic, translational and/or clinical science. To receive a second and third year of funding, a Stiefel Scholar Award recipient must demonstrate substantial progress in his/her funded project. The following individuals have met the high standards for renewed support of their valuable research.

2016 DERMATOLOGY FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT 19 Career Development Awards

The most competitive of the Foundation’s early career awards, Career Development Awards (CDAs), provide $55,000 in annual salary support for up to three years. The DF provides a variety of CDAs intended for projects and individuals with exceptional potential to contribute to the advancement of dermatology. These awards provide recipients with the opportunity to focus on developing the data and track record needed to garner federal support for their research.

26 2016 DERMATOLOGY FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT Medical and Scientific Committee

Identifying and funding innovative, relevant research to be completed by young investigators with the potential for long careers at the leading edge of dermatologic research is at the heart of the Foundation's mission. The Medical and Scientific Committee carries out this essential task. Members are selected for their individual and collective expertise, which spans the subspecialties of dermatology.

Each year, this expert group reviews research proposals from talented young dermatologists and scientists to select those with the greatest potential to break new ground and improve human health. To ensure the process adheres to high standards, the committee follows a National Institutes of Health review procedure to evaluate the scientific merit for the proposals and the applicants' potential to carry out ground-breaking dermatologic research.

The Foundation extends its deepest thanks to the 2016-17 Medical and Scientific Committee and its Clinical, Medical, Surgical and Dermatopathology Panel for their extraordinary effort and diligence in selecting this year's Research Award recipients.

2016 DERMATOLOGY FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT 27 Clinical Symposia

The Dermatology Foundation's Clinical Symposia is one of the specialty's most highly-regarded professional educational conferences. Provocative presentations and peer-reviewed-caliber break-out sessions convey the latest and most relevant research findings and how to put them into practice. The 2017 program, held January 18-22 in Naples, Fl., drew 400 physicians ready to learn and interact with some of the country's leading researchers and practitioners. This year's topics included inflammatory diseases, pediatric dermatology, care delivery, melanoma treatments, and recognizing infectious diseases from around the globe. Yale School of Medicine accredited the Clinical Symposia. Net proceeds from the event benefited the Research Awards Program.

The DF extends its thanks and praise to Program Co-Chairs Janet A. Fairley, M.D. and Jack S. Resneck, Jr., MD. and the distinguished faculty members who are responsible for the success of this year's Clinical Symposia. The DF also gratefully acknowledges the corporate donors who make this important event possible and extends its deepest thanks to Unilever, whose exceptional support enabled 50 residents to attend the program.
