• Teams may consist of investigators from the same institution, or different institutions, and may be international;
• The designated Administrative PI is responsible for administrative leadership. All other Principal Investigators on the team share authority for scientific leadership;
• The Administrative PI and any other Principal Investigators on the team must be senior investigators, past the initial five years of their first academic faculty appointment and must hold 5 a full-time faculty appointment at the level of Assistant Professor (or equivalent) or above. Co-PIs are not allowed. Other investigators on the team need to be designated as Co-Investigators, Collaborators, or Consultants.

• An investigator may serve as a PI, including Administrative PI or Principal Investigator on a Team, on only one proposal this cycle;
• Each team must include at least one Young Investigator and a designated Mentor for the Young Investigator (the Mentor is not required to have any additional role within the team), whose work must be integral to one or more of the aims of the proposal (see and comply with all Young Investigator eligibility criteria above);
• All Young Investigators on Team Science Award applications must complete the Applicant Eligibility Checklist and upload it as an attachment with the LOI.
• An investigator may only be the designated Young Investigator on one application in the Team Science Award category. However, a Young Investigator identified within a Team Science Award application may also apply in the same cycle for their own, individual Young Investigator Award provided that application has a unique research focus and hypothesis.
Other info: Team Science Awards are designed to foster a collaborative research process and promote transformational melanoma research advances with the potential for rapid clinical translation. Evidence of prior collaboration among team members is encouraged, but not required.
