AAD members and third-year residents from the US and Canada are invited to apply for the award. The submission deadline is March 2.

This grant gives second- and third-year residents the opportunity to provide dermatologic care to Navajo Nation residents during a 1- to 2-week elective with the Indian Health Service. Four grants will be awarded to US residents. The application deadline is April 1.
• The Resident International Grant
This grant provides funding for senior dermatology residents to participate in a 4- to 6-week elective in Botswana, where they will help administer dermatologic HIV care and visit outreach sites. Fifteen grants are available to US and Canadian residents. The application deadline is April 1.
