In alignment with its mission and purpose, the AMRF continues to support research that contributes to the understanding and prevention of melanoma and will provide funds in 2026 to approved research projects.

The AMRF will provide grants in 2026 to support approved research projects.The number of grants awarded will depend on the quality of the applications and the funds requested.

AMRF will specifically focus on the support of the next generation of melanoma researchers in Australia by providing research grants to post-graduate students and early career researchers.

• Support for a post-graduate student can be up to $10,000.
• Support for a next generation scientist can be up to $20,000.

The aim of the AMRF's grants is to support high quality research that is not fully funded through other grant schemes or from other sources.

Although the proposed work will likely be part of an existing supported research program, the application to the AMRF should be for a stand-alone component of that existing project.

Application will follow a two-staged process starting with an expression of interest.

Research involving humans or animals must be approved by a relevant institutional research ethics committee and will be mandatory for ensuring funding. AMRF funds will be paid to institutions where the research is to be undertaken. A research funding agreement between the recipient institution and the AMRF will be required.
