About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Medical Command is soliciting applications for the Fiscal Year 2026 Melanoma Research Program Team Science Award, a hypothesis-driven, multidisciplinary research grant mechanism with a full application deadline of October 14, 2026 (pre-application deadline July 13, 2026). This funding mechanism requires at least two and up to three Principal Investigators to jointly design and execute a single research project; multi-institutional partnerships are encouraged, and each PI will be named on separate awards to their respective recipient organization(s).
Eligible applicants include extramural and intramural U.S. Department of War organizations, foreign and domestic organizations, for-profit and nonprofit entities, and public or private entities. Principal Investigators must be independent investigators at or above the level of Assistant Professor, and an investigator may be named on only one FY26 MRP full application as a PI. Cost sharing is not required.
The Defense Health Agency expects to allot roughly $18.9 million to fund approximately nine Team Science Award applications, with total cost caps of $2.1 million per award and a maximum period of performance of three years. Awards will be made with FY26 funds expiring for use on September 30, 2032, with awards made no later than September 30, 2027.
Applications must address at least one of three strategic priorities: Prevention and Interception, Rare Melanomas, or Survivorship. Investigators are encouraged, but not required, to form collaborative relationships with the melanoma consumer community to maximize research impact and translatability. A two-step application process is required: pre-application through eBRAP with invitation to submit full application, then full application through Grants.gov (extramural) or eBRAP (intramural DOW organizations). Applications undergo peer review for technical merit, followed by programmatic review evaluating technical merit, military relevance, MRP priority alignment, collaboration synergy, portfolio balance, and military health relevance.
CFDA 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development).
Synopsis
Summary: The fiscal year 2026 (FY26) Melanoma Research Program (MRP) Team Science Award supports a broad range of hypothesis-driven, multidisciplinary studies that have a short-term goal of advancing the state of the science in melanoma research and/or patient care. Team science is a synergistic effort that harnesses techniques, approaches and perspectives from multiple disciplines and/or therapeutic areas to address complex, multi-dimensional problems that will impact patient outcomes.
Distinctive Features:
· This funding mechanism requires multiple Principal Investigators (PIs). At least two and up to three PIs should partner to jointly design and execute a single research project; multi-institutional partnerships are encouraged. If recommended for funding, each PI will be named on separate awards to the recipient organization(s).
· Consumer Collaboration Option: Investigators are encouraged, but not required, to form collaborative relationships with the melanoma consumer community to maximize the impact and translatability of the research for the benefit of the intended community(ies).
· After submitting the required pre-application, investigators must receive an invitation to submit a full application.
- Only the Initiating PI will submit a pre-application. All PIs must submit full applications. The Partnering PI(s)'s application is an abbreviated package specific to their proposed research effort.
