What the grant funds

Summary: Supports a broad range of hypothesis-driven, multidisciplinary studies that have a short-term goal of advancing the state of the science in melanoma research and/or patient care. Team science is a synergistic effort that harnesses techniques, approaches, and perspectives from multiple disciplines and/or therapeutic areas to address complex, multi-dimensional problems that will impact patient outcomes. Distinctive Features: · This funding mechanism requires multiple Principal Investigators (PIs). At least two and up to three PIs should partner to jointly design and execute a single research project; multi- institutional partnerships are encouraged. If recommended for funding, each PI will be named on separate awards to the recipient organization(s). · *New for FY25* After submitting the required pre-application, investigators must receive an invitation to submit a full application. • Only the Initiating PI will submit a pre-application. All PIs will need to submit full applications. The Partnering PI(s)’s application is an abbreviated package specific to their proposed effort. · Investigators are encouraged, but not required, to form collaborative relationships with the melanoma consumer community to maximize the impact and translatability of the research for the benefit of the intended community(ies).
