The Melanoma Research Alliance Foundation ("mra") supports ambitious and innovative projects, selected through a peer-review panel and initiated by individual scientists and science Research teams, to prevent, detect and treat Melanoma. Mra convenes a world class, cross-disciplinary group of expert researchers possessing clinical and scientific expertise to develop a Research agenda that will provide innovative solutions to critical Research issues leading to more effective prevention, earlier detection and better treatments for Melanoma. Mra makes grants to domestic and foreign 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.
The mra operates a patient engagement program that supports increased awareness of Melanoma in general, and of prevention, detection and treatment options specifically.

The patient engagement program includes development and distribution of educational materials, the provision of educational forums, a clinical trial navigator for patients and an on-line patient community.
