תיאור

The goal of the Melanoma Research Program (MRP) is to prevent melanoma initiation and progression. Preliminary results and clear impact potential are required. 

 

  FY212 MRP Mid Career Award must address at least one of the following Focus Areas.
  • Research across the entire spectrum (biology, etiology, prevention, diagnosis and detection, prognosis, treatment, and quality of life) for rare melanomas (e.g., uveal, acral, mucosal, pediatric) in patients and model organisms.
  • Identify and understand risk factor determinants for melanoma, including rare subtypes.
  • Develop prediction and surveillance tools for distinguishing patient populations at risk for second primary/recurrence and/or metastasis.
  • Understand how precursor lesions and environmental/endogenous factors influence melanomagenesis, including (but not limited to) race, sex as a biological variable, etc.
  • Develop new tools for the detection and diagnosis of melanoma, which includes easily accessible technology (beyond the dermoscope) for primary care physicians and dermatologists.
  • Identify how the tumor microenvironment (e.g., stromal, immune, microbiome) impacts tumor initiation, response to therapy, progression, recurrence, and/or dormancy.
  • Delineate the molecular pathways that influence metastatic spread, recurrence, and/or dormancy.

 

PI a mid-career researcher at the level of Assistant or Associate Professor. PI must be at least 7 years or more from their first faculty-level appointment. Full professors are not eligible. 

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

 

 

The MRP strongly encourages the use of Department of Defense (DoD)/Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) databases and participation by DoD/VA investigators.
