Melanoma Research Alliance

Melanoma is relentless and so are we.

MRA is the largest nonprofit funder of melanoma research. 100% of donations go to life-saving science. 🔬 Learn more at CureMelanoma.org Cornerstones of the MRA vision include:

* Supporting innovative, high risk research that has the potential to impact the outcomes of melanoma in the near and intermediate future.
* Engaging the international community for best ideas, proposal submissions, cross-disciplinary teams, and as members of the MRA Scientific Advisory Board and Grant Review Committee.
* Creating a stable financial environment that will draw young investigators with novel ideas as well as experienced researchers in other medical fields into a career in melanoma.
* Seeking opportunities for synergy with other funders to maximize impact.
* Maintaining an efficient, non-bureaucratic grant application process that allows the investigators to minimize time in administrative duties.
* Fostering a collaborative research process - in team science awards; workshops and conferences where results will be shared before publication and new opportunities identified early.
* Partnering with industry, government agencies, other foundations as well as academicians in order to stimulate discussion and idea-generation throughout the continuum of science, public policy, drug approval and healthcare.

Last week, MRA's NextGen Wallstreet event introduced a new generation of supporters to MRA, connected them with one another, and shined a light on how philanthropy can help move promising melanoma research forward. We hope it will be the beginning of an ongoing community, with participants who bring their networks, ideas, and energy to this work. Thank you to LFFM Steering Committee Member, Oliver Blatt, and LFFM Chairs, Ian Schuman and Jeff Rowbottom, who moderated a discussion and shared more about their careers, as well as why melanoma research means so much to them.

Hitting store shelves now! No need to travel to other parts of the world for lighter weight sunscreen options anymore. Americans have a new sunscreen option that offers broad protection with a more sheer application, thanks to the FDA approving bemotrizinol (BEMT) last June!

Bottom line, the best sunscreen is the one you’ll use. Now you just have more options!
