Melanoma Research Foundation Request for Proposals (RFP) 2020

The Melanoma Research Foundation (MRF) is committed to advancing research across the spectrum of melanoma – from prevention through diagnosis, staging, treatment and survivorship. The MRF proactively partners with the NCI, Congress, the Department of Defense and other foundations to develop and collaborate on a broad agenda for melanoma research that takes full advantage of all opportunities, while also sharing challenges. Since 1998, the MRF has funded 187 innovative, high impact, basic, translational and clinical research projects. Further, in 2019, the MRF awarded over $1,500,000 in new melanoma research. In 2020, the MRF will again offer Established Investigator and Career Development Awards (as discussed in this RFP), as well as Medical Student Awards and a Young Investigator Team Award to advance the field of translational immuno-oncology (detailed in separate RFPs available on the MRF website).
