CDMRP Melanoma Research Program: Melanoma Academy Leadership Award

The goal of the Melanoma Research Program (MRP) is to prevent melanoma initiation and progression.

The Melanoma Academy is a virtual career development and research platform that consists of Scholars and their Career Guides (primary mentors) from different institutions, and an Academy Director and Deputy Director.

The Academy Director and Deputy Director (referred to as Academy Leadership) must be established melanoma researchers, and can be at different institutions. The Academy Leadership must demonstrate a strong record of mentoring and training early-career independent investigators, a commitment to leadership, articulate methods toward research collaborations. The Melanoma Academy Leadership Award is structured to support two Principal Investigators (PIs).

It is expected that one (1) award will be granted.
