Opportunity Summary:
The DoD Prostate Cancer Collaborative Undergraduate HBCU Student Summer Training Program Award (Funding Opportunity Number W81XWH-12-PCRP-STPA) is a U.S. Department of Defense, Department of the Army (USAMRAA) funding opportunity designed to strengthen the pipeline of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) undergraduate students entering prostate cancer research and related biomedical careers. The program supports either the creation of a new summer training experience or the expansion of an existing one, as long as the training is hosted at an institution with an active, high-performing prostate cancer research environment. The core purpose is to provide structured summer research training that connects HBCU undergraduates to strong labs, experienced mentors, and a collaborative setting focused on prostate cancer.
A central requirement of the award is that the training program must enroll at least four undergraduate HBCU trainees each year. This minimum trainee commitment signals that the program is meant to be more than an individual internship and instead function as a cohort-based training initiative with enough participants to justify organized programming, mentoring infrastructure, and meaningful research exposure. While the opportunity emphasizes HBCU undergraduate participation, it is also anchored in the idea that the host institution should provide a mature research setting where trainees can contribute to and learn from ongoing prostate cancer research efforts.
The host institution is expected to demonstrate a clear record of achievement in prostate cancer research and training. In practice, that means the applicant organization should be able to show evidence of established prostate cancer research programs, qualified investigators, relevant facilities and resources, and prior experience training students or early-career researchers. The emphasis on an institution with a proven track record reflects the DoD goal of placing trainees into environments where they can gain hands-on experience with rigorous scientific methods, current research questions in prostate cancer, and professional research standards.
Administratively, this opportunity was offered as a discretionary program under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category, and it uses cooperative agreement and grant mechanisms as the funding instruments. The CFDA number associated with this program is 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development). The government anticipated making about five awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,000,000 across all awards. The posting date was March 22, 2012, and the application closing date was June 20, 2012, with the opportunity later archived on July 20, 2012. The funding notice lists no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity was broadly open to applicants of various entity types, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement. Even with broad eligibility, the text makes clear that a successful applicant must be positioned to serve as a host institution with a thriving prostate cancer research program and the ability to recruit and train at least four HBCU undergraduate students annually in a summer program format.
