This is a federal research grant for studies that improve the near-term health and well-being of melanoma survivors, their families, and care partners.

DoD Melanoma Research Program funding for innovative survivorship research to improve health and well-being of melanoma survivors, families, and care partners. Open to any entity type; clinical trials allowed; requires a melanoma consumer collaborator.
Summary: The fiscal year 2026 (FY26) Melanoma Research Program (MRP) Survivorship Research Award addresses the relatively new and underfunded area of melanoma-specific survivorship by supporting a broad range of innovative and impactful research that has the intended outcome of improving the health and well-being of melanoma survivors, their families and/or their care partners in the near term. Proposed studies focusing exclusively on animal models or considering survival only without consideration of quality of life, overall health and/or function are not responsive to this funding opportunity.
Distinctive Features:
· The application must include at least one melanoma consumer collaborator , defined as a melanoma survivor, family member and/or care partner who can provide lived experience expertise to the research project team, or a melanoma-community supporting organization to support the planning, execution, and implementation of the proposed research.
· Clinical trials are allowed.
The listing does not include detailed eligibility text. Check the official listing before you apply.
