The TLC Foundation is now accepting applications for its Early Career Award Program (ECAP). ECAP is a mentorship and career development opportunity that supports rising stars in the field of body-focused repetitive behaviors, including trichotillomania (hair pulling) disorder, excoriation (skin picking)disorder, and related conditions. 

ECAP is designed to foster interest in a career serving the BFRB community through networking, professional development activities, and mentorship from leaders in the field.

There are separate awards for both researchers and evidence-based clinicians, and they include the following:

Applying is easy, and eligibility criteria are intentionally broad. See bfrb.org/ecap for details.
