Melanoma prevention begins with understanding risk. That's why the MRF prioritizes funding innovative research aimed at identifying those most vulnerable to melanoma & uncovering strategies to reduce incidence and mortality. To date, the MRF has funded nearly $700,000 in prevention research grants, emphasizing our commitment to prevention.

One important example is 2025 Established Investigator Awardee, Lisa Cannon-Albright, PhD of University of Utah who's grant titled, "Pedigree Approach to Identify Predisposition Variants for Lethal Melanoma," focuses on identifying inherited genetic variants that may predispose individuals and families to the most aggressive forms of melanoma.

You can learn more about Lisa's work and the efforts of our other funded researchers with a focus on melanoma prevention, here - https://buff.ly/KObEVPT
