DoW Melanoma Research Program Team Science Award
Funds a multi-investigator melanoma research team through a pre-application screen, with each partner named on their own award.
Some melanoma questions are too big for one lab and one perspective. This award exists for the ones that need a team built on purpose, not assembled after the fact.
What is funded is hypothesis-driven, multidisciplinary research with a short-term goal of advancing melanoma science, patient care, or both — work that draws on techniques and perspectives from more than one discipline or therapeutic …
Hypothesis-driven, multidisciplinary Team Science studies advancing melanoma research and patient care, requiring 2 to 3 partnering Principal Investigators who each submit a full application and receive an individual award if funded, following an invitation-only pre-application stage led by a single Initiating PI. Forming a relationship with the melanoma consumer community is encouraged but not required.
