DoW Melanoma Research Program Focused Program Award - Rare Melanomas
Funds a multi-investigator research program tackling one shared question in rare melanoma, split across two or three linked projects.
Rare melanomas are rare enough that no single lab usually has the patient numbers or the spread of expertise to answer a hard question about them alone.
This award funds a multidisciplinary research program of two or three distinct but complementary projects, all built around one overarching question in rare melanomas.
It is a partnering mechanism: an Initiating Principal Investigator plus one o…
A multidisciplinary, partnering-mechanism research program of two to three distinct but complementary rare melanoma projects addressing one overarching question, led by an Initiating Principal Investigator and one or two Partnering PIs, with a rare melanoma survivor or patient advocate required on the project team and a pre-application gate ahead of the full application. Clinical trials are allowed.
