Opportunity Summary:
The DoD FY11 Prostate Cancer Health Disparity Training Award (HDTA) is a funding opportunity from the Department of the Army, administered through the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) Prostate Cancer Research Program (PCRP), designed to build the next generation of researchers focused on prostate cancer health disparities. The core purpose is to reduce unequal prostate cancer incidence, morbidity, and mortality by supporting structured training and a related research project for early-career investigators. Since the mechanism began in FY01, the program reported 38 applications received with 22 recommended for funding, signaling a selective but established track record.
This award specifically targets predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees and is organized around the idea that the trainee is the Principal Investigator (PI) for the proposal. In practical terms, the award primarily provides salary support for the PI/trainee while they complete a tailored training plan and conduct a prostate cancer health disparities research project. Applicants must clearly and explicitly connect both the training program and the proposed research to a defined area of prostate cancer health disparity. The announcement highlights a broad set of disparity dimensions that may qualify, including race and ethnicity, socioeconomic status, access to health care, insurance status, age, geography, and cultural beliefs, while also leaving room for other justified disparity topics.
A central requirement is mentorship. Each application must include at least one mentor who has demonstrated experience in prostate cancer health disparity research, evidenced by prior funding and publications. The mentor(s) must be well matched to the trainee's proposed project and must show a clear commitment to developing the trainee into an independent researcher in this area. Importantly, the trainee does not need prior experience in either prostate cancer research or health disparities research, as long as they demonstrate strong potential and a clear commitment to pursuing a career focused on prostate cancer health disparities.
Applicants are expected to propose an individualized, prostate cancer-focused training program that is aligned with the research aims and the trainee's career development needs. The training plan can include elements such as coursework, learning laboratory techniques, participating in conferences and seminars, attending or leading journal clubs, teaching responsibilities, and/or clinical responsibilities, depending on what best supports the proposed work. The application must also describe an appropriate research environment that supports both the training activities and the successful completion of the project.
The program welcomes proposals across the spectrum from basic to clinical research as long as they stay anchored in a prostate cancer health disparity issue. Applications are expected to be relevant to at least one PCRP focus area, and they are encouraged (but not required) to address one of the PCRP overarching challenges. The application itself is to be written by the trainee/PI, with appropriate guidance from the mentor(s), reinforcing the award's career development intent.
From the published opportunity details, this FY11 announcement is listed under Funding Opportunity Number W81XWH 11 PCRP HDTA and uses grant and cooperative agreement funding instruments within a science and technology research and development category. The expected number of awards is six, with an estimated total funding amount of $700,000 and no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility is described as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any additional eligibility clarifications in the full announcement. The opportunity was posted April 21, 2011, with an original and current closing date of June 8, 2011, and an archive date of July 8, 2011. For access issues, the notice provides the CDMRP Help Desk phone number at 301-682-5507.
