Mission: To end suffering and death due to melanoma by collaborating with all stakeholders to accelerate powerful research, advance cures for all patients, and prevent more melanomas.
Programs: The melanoma research alliance foundation ("mra") supports ambitious and innovative projects, initiated by individual scientists and science research teams, to develop novel diagnostic and therapeutic avenues relevant to pathways governing the behavior and clinical outcome of melanoma. Mra convenes a world class, cross-disciplinary group of expert biomedical researchers possessing clinical and scientific expertise to develop a research agenda that will provide innovative solutions to critical research issues leading to better treatments and a cure for melanoma. Mra makes grants to domestic research universities, medical schools, and nonprofit medical research organizations directly involved in determining the causes and cures of melanoma on the condition that such research be made available to the scientific community. Mra also makes grants to foreign research universities, medical schools and medical research organizations.
