      Dear MPIP Community:

      As patients and their loved ones are those most affected by research advances and the development of new therapies, the MRF believes their input to be incredibly valuable to the grant review process. Beginning in 2019, melanoma patient advocates were invited to participate in the grant review process to share their perspective on which areas of research should receive grant funding. This program is expanding in 2020, and the MRF is currently seeking melanoma patient advocates to join a research grant review panel.

      Formal scientific training is not required, but those with such a background are welcome to apply as well. Information on how to apply, eligibility criteria, estimated time commitment and more are available in the MRF Research Center. Completed applications are due by Thursday, April 16, 2020.

      If you are interested, we encourage you to apply.  Please feel free to contact Robyn Burns, PhD at [email protected] with any questions/concerns. 

      Best,

      Shelby – MRF
