Third annual Diversity Research Scholarship Program now open

Submissions are being accepted for the third annual Canadian Skin of Colour & Diversity Research Scholarship Program for dermatology residents, supported by Pfizer Canada.

As part of our mutual commitment to empower dermatologists to elevate Canadian healthcare and knowledge, an independent committee of dermatologists seeks applications from Canadian dermatology residents across the country who have innovative projects to propose to address care gaps within skin diseases in underrepresented populations.

This scholarship aims to create an equitable dermatology environment that welcomes applications focusing on improving dermatologic care for these populations, including Canadians with deeper skin tones, Indigenous people, and other racialized groups.

Selected recipients will receive the scholarship funds to support the development and implementation of their initiative.

Interested Canadian dermatology residents should submit their research proposals by September 2, 2025, to make a difference in dermatologic care for skin of colour.
