FY20 Melanoma Research Program (MRP)
https://cdmrp.army.mil/funding/mrp
Required preapplication due June 22, 2020

Applications for the Idea Award, Translational Research Award, Team Science Award, and the Mid-Career Accelerator Award submitted to the FY20 MRP must address one or more of the following focus areas:

• Prevention of melanoma initiation factors (e.g., UV radiation)
• Prevention of melanomagenesis and precursor lesions (e.g., novel genetic and epigenetic drivers, oncogene induced senescence)
• Understanding the tumor microenvironment

• Primary Tumor
• Regional Nodes
• Distal Nodes

• Bioengineering (e.g., computational, imaging) approaches to address diagnostics, high risk markers, dormancy, and metastasis
• Therapeutic Prevention (e.g., interruption of disease progression, recurrence)

• Minimal Residual Disease (e.g., chemoprevention, micro-metastasis)

Applications for the Technology Development Partnership Award submitted to the FY20 MRP must address the focus area: Bioengineering (e.g., computational, imaging) approaches to address diagnostics, high risk markers, dormancy, and metastasis.
