    As a result of the government shutdown, NIH is no longer accepting new patients into existing clinical trials. Have you or someone you know been impacted by this? Have you been turned down and/or unable to enroll in a trial? If so, email media@melanoma.org. The MRF feels media coverage around the shutdown needs to address the negative impact on melanoma patients, and your story is needed.

    Thanks,
