Driving innovative, collaborative research

$50 million in additional federal funding

Since 1987, donor support has enabled NPF to invest over $37 million in research, empowering scientists to uncover new treatments, improve early detection, and work toward the prevention of psoriatic disease - a major milestone on the path to a cure.

Peer Reviewed Literature

This year, NPF's Journal of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis® achieved PubMed indexing in recognition of its publication of high quality research. To achieve indexation, the JPPA underwent a rigorous review of the past 2 years of articles to ensure they were of the highest quality and accuracy.

Putting People First

NPF is a leader in patient centered research.

Since 1967, people with firsthand experiences of psoriatic disease have led every initiative, program, and meaningful decision at NPF. Putting people with the disease at the center of each decision keeps the organization on the path to improving lives in the ways most meaningful to the community.

In 2025, NPF advocacy and research played a critical role in gaining better access to in-home phototherapy for all skin types when we partnered with PCORI, the LITE Study team, and Elevance Health.

NPF provides trusted information to anyone impacted by psoriasis or PsA, including care takers and health care providers. Additionally, NPF marketing and public relations efforts raise critical awareness among the general public, reducing stigma by eliminating misconceptions about the disease and rebutting the misinformed with vetted, accurate health information.

Illuminating a Rare Disease

About 3% of the population lives with psoriasis, but only .0001% to .0009% experience a rare form called Generalized Pustular Psoriasis (GPP). On February 28, Rare Disease Day, NPF launched a multifaceted effort to find and support people with GPP while also educating dermatologists and people with psoriasis about this true dermatologic emergency.

How we reach people has evolved. The mission is the same.

In 1967 Beverly Foster’s then husband placed a message in the classifieds of The Oregonian. Neither of them knew it, but Beverly was about to become the founder of the National Psoriasis Foundation.

Today, we don't rely on classifieds. But the goal of connecting and supporting anyone with this disease hasn’t changed.
