NAAF was established in 1981 with two clear goals; to fund and promote research and provide support to individuals affected by alopecia areata. Though NAAF’s mission programs have expanded over the past four decades, the importance of research funding and providing a substantial support program to people of all ages and interests has not diminished. NAAF’s commitment to funding critical research remains unchanged, and our various support programs and resources continue to offer different ways to create a sense of community amongst individuals with alopecia areata and their families.
