Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis Alliance (PAPAA)
At a glance
Key takeaways
- PAPAA's stated focus is well-run medical research into psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis that aims to make a meaningful difference to people affected by them, so research outside that area is not what it says it supports.
- Its annual report shows £2,446 awarded in its latest year, so its grants are small, and a modest, tightly costed request fits its earlier pattern of small, relatively low-cost awards.
- Its earlier open small-grants process, which set a maximum of £10,000 per application, is no longer accepting applications, so contact PAPAA first with a suggested project or area of research, as its application guidance describes.
- Its grant range and geographic focus are not stated, and its registered area is England and Wales, so that is the only location information available.
- It does not say how competitive its giving is, so treat the first contact as a conversation about fit.

What they fund
Priority Areas
The foundation supports well-run medical research into psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. It has aimed to support research into all aspects of psoriatic disease whenever possible, and describes its research support as intended to make a meaningful difference to people affected by these conditions. Under its previous open-grants process, trustees considered small, relatively low-cost applications and could consider larger applications where PAPAA funding would provide seed funding for a higher-value project. They could also consider other research where it was likely to provide a tangible benefit to people affected by psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis.
