Summary: 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 caregivers. 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 caregiver who can provide lived experience expertise to the research project team, or a melanoma-community supporting organization who will be integral to the planning, execution and implementation of the proposed research.

·        Clinical trials are allowed.
