PAST GRANT RECIPIENTS
Since 2017, the HS Foundation's grant program has supported researchers across three tracks, Danby Research, Translational, and Mentored Experience grants, each designed to move HS science forward and build the next generation of HS investigators. The work funded through these grants has expanded what we know about hidradenitis suppurativa and brought us closer to better treatments and outcomes for patients. Below is the full list of investigators whose research this program has supported.
