--- ## Description The Melanoma Research Program Team Science Award, administered by the Dept. of the Army -- USAMRAA, is designed to support broad, hypothesis-driven, multidisciplinary studies with the goal of advancing melanoma research and improving patient outcomes. This mechanism emphasizes team science, requiring collaboration among at least two (and up to three) Principal Investigators (PIs) who jointly design and execute a single research project. Multi-institutional partnerships are encouraged, and each PI will receive a separate award if funded. Projects should leverage diverse techniques, perspectives, and therapeutic areas to address complex, multi-dimensional challenges in melanoma. Investigators are encouraged (but not required) to collaborate with the melanoma consumer community to enhance the translational impact of their work. --- ## Due Dates - October 2026 (Full application deadline, anticipated/projected) *All dates are projected based on the annual cycle; check the program page for updates.* --- ## Funding Amount - Approximately $2.1 million total costs per award - Maximum period of performance: 3 years - Estimated total program funding: ~$18.9 million, supporting ~9 awards - No cost sharing or matching required --- ## Eligibility - Eligible applicants: Unrestricted (open to all entity types) - Teams must include at least two and up to three PIs, ideally from multiple institutions - Both domestic and international organizations may apply, subject to program and federal requirements --- ## Application Process - Submission begins with a required pre-application; only the Initiating PI submits the pre-application - Invitation is required to submit a full application - All PIs must submit full applications, but Partnering PIs submit an abbreviated application package - Multi-institutional and multidisciplinary collaboration is strongly encouraged - Applications are submitted via the [eBRAP system](https://ebrap.org) --- ## Additional Information - Consumer collaboration is encouraged to maximize research impact but is not mandatory - Awards from this cycle will be made no later than September 30, 2027, with funds expiring September 30, 2032 - For further programmatic details, refer to [CDMRP MRP program page](https://cdmrp.health.mil/pubs/press/2026/mrppreann) --- ## External Links - [Program Forecast on Grants.gov](https://www.grants.gov/search-results-detail/362242) - [USAMRAA Home Page](https://usamraa.health.mil) - [CDMRP Melanoma Research Program](https://cdmrp.health.mil/pubs/press/2026/mrppreann) --- ## Contact Information | Contact | Email | Phone | |------------------------|------------------------------|---------------| | eBRAP Help Desk | help@eBRAP.org | 301-682-5507 | | USAMRAA General Contact| USArmy.Detrick.MEDCOM-USAMRMC.List.Webmaster@health.mil | (301)-682-5507 | ---
