Description

This opportunity supports research focused on melanoma-specific survivorship, aiming to improve the quality of life, health, and function of melanoma survivors, their families, and care partners. Projects should emphasize innovative and impactful approaches that go beyond survival alone to address broader survivorship needs. Proposals focusing solely on animal models or survival without consideration of quality of life, overall health, or function are not responsive. Clinical trials are permitted. A distinctive requirement is the inclusion of at least one melanoma consumer collaborator—either a survivor, family member, care partner, or a melanoma-community supporting organization—to provide lived experience expertise throughout the research project.
