תיאור

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.

PI of the Scholar award must be an early-career researcher or physician-scientist within 7 years after completion of their terminal degree by the time of the application deadline. Each scholar must designate a career guide (may be at a different institution). 

 

Applicants must address at least one of the ollowing Focus Areas.
  • Identify methods to decrease risk of melanoma development beyond sunscreen and protective clothing.
  • Identify and understand risk factor determinants for melanoma, including variants (e.g., uveal, acral, mucosal melanoma).
  • Identify how the tumor microenvironment (e.g., stromal, immune, microbiome) impact tumor initiation, response to therapy, progression, and dormancy.
  • Understand how precursor lesions and endogenous host factors may lead to melanomagenesis.
  • Develop new decision-making tools for the detection and diagnosis of melanoma that includes easily accessible technology (beyond the dermoscope) for primary care physicians and dermatologists.
  • Develop prediction and surveillance tools for distinguishing patient at risk for recurrence and/or metastasis. Identify biological determinants to differentiate patient populations.
  • Understand mechanisms that underlie metastatic spread to different (regional/nodal) sites or the different distant sites of metastasis from acral, mucosal, and uveal melanomas. 
  • Delineate the molecular pathways, tumor microenvironment, immune response that influence metastatic spread, recurrence, and/or dormancy.

 

 

It is expected that four (4) award will be granted.
