CATEGORIES:Call for proposal
DESCRIPTION:Aim: Through the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Pro
 gram (CDMRP)\, the Department of Defense is announcing the Melanoma Resear
 ch Program (VRP) for 2019. The Concept Award supports the exploration of a
  highly innovative new concept or untested theory that addresses an import
 ant problem relevant to melanoma. The Concept Award is not intended to sup
 port an incremental progression of an already established research project
  but\, instead\, allows Principal Investigators (PIs) the opportunity to p
 ursue serendipitous observations. This award mechanism supports early stud
 ies that have the potential to reveal entirely new avenues for investigati
 on.\n \nTo meet the intent of the award mechanism\, applications to the F
 Y19 MRP Concept Award must address research in one or more of the followin
 g Focus Areas listed at the end of this announcement.\n \nFunding:    
     Maximum USD $ 75’000\n \nDuration:      1 year\n \nEligibil
 ity: Applicants from international organizations or institutions are eligi
 ble to apply\, and there are no citizenship restrictions. All investigator
 s at or above the level of postdoctoral fellow (or equivalent) are eligibl
 e to be named as the PI of the application.\n \nHow to Apply: Pre-applica
 tions are submitted through the eBRAP platform. They should contain contac
 t information\, a list of collaborators and key personnel\, a Letter of In
 tent\, and supporting documents as suggested on the platform. Full applica
 tions (by invitation) will be made via a Grants.gov workspace. Full applic
 ation packages can be downloaded from Grants.gov at any time.\n \nPre-App
 lication Deadline: 02 October 2019\, 5:00 p.m. EST (23:00 CET)\nFull Appli
 cation Deadline:  23 October 2019\, 11:59 p.m. EST (05:59 24 Oct\, CET)\n

 ge on Grants.gov and search for the Opportunity Number W81XWH-19-MRP-CA.\n
 	For questions about the eBRAP or Grants.gov platforms\, contact the Resea
 rch Office.\n\n \nFY19 MRP Focus Areas\n \n\n	Precursor Lesions\, Melano
 magenesis\, Host Factors\, and the Tumor Microenvironment (e.g.\, melanoma
  instigators\, UV exposure\, other instigators)\n	Melanoma Primary Tumor E
 volution (e.g.\, dormancy\, heterogeneity\, metabolism\, epigenetic dysreg
 ulation\, cell death)\n	Therapeutic Prevention (e.g. interruption of disea
 se progression\, recurrence)\n	Minimal Residual Disease (e.g. chemoprevent
 ion\, micro-metastasis)\n	Rare Melanomas (e.g.\, uveal\, acral\, leptomeni
 ngeal disease\, pediatric\, adolescent and young adult [AYA]\, mucosal)\n
