About DermLink Grants 

The DermLink Grants is an annual programme funded by the International Foundation for Dermatology (IFD), the humanitarian arm of the ILDS. The programme provides support for ILDS Member, Affiliated and Observer Societies ("ILDS Members") to undertake or support one-off projects and initiatives to improve the treatment of patients with skin disease in under-served parts of the world.

Through the DermLink Grant scheme, ILDS Members and member-supported applications can apply for funding of up to US$5,000 to undertake one-off projects and initiatives to improve the treatment of patients with skin disease in underserved parts of the world.

Our 2025 DermLink grant scheme was a huge success, which saw many high-quality applications received from a variety of projects around the world. We were delighted to be able to award 14 projects in the 2025 grant scheme, and you can find out more about the 2025 recipients here.

We now invite ILDS Members to submit their own or support other applications for consideration in the 2026 DermLink Grant programme.
