NAAF was established in 1981 with one clear goal; to offer support to individuals affected by alopecia areata. Though the mission has expanded over the past two decades, the importance of providing a substantial support program to people of all ages and interests has not diminished.
NAAF’s research program is committed to piecing together the puzzle presented by alopecia areata. Part of NAAF’s mission is to encourage research in alopecia areata, striving to find a cure or acceptable treatment. NAAF accomplishes the research mission by funding an acclaimed research grant program, and seeking out investigators worldwide in the areas of genetics, immunology and clinical research.
