The Skin Cancer Foundation Research Grants program is designed to help early career investigators find new approaches related to the prevention, detection and treatment of all types of skin cancer. This year, our committee has chosen three awardees to receive grants totaling $125,000. Since 1983, when the program began, it has funded more than $2 million in research grants, many for ideas that led to lifesaving breakthroughs.
