DoD Prostate Cancer Physician Research Award | Apply Online

Opportunity Information: Apply for W81XWH 16 PCRP PRA

The DoD Prostate Cancer Physician Research Award is designed to support physicians working in clinical settings who are interested in pursuing a career in prostate cancer research. This award allows physicians to serve as Principal Investigators (PIs) while receiving mentorship from established researchers in the field. Eligible applicants include those in their final year of accredited medical training or within three years of starting a faculty position.

The focus of the award is on both the quality of the proposed research and the career development of the PI, preparing them for future roles in various aspects of prostate cancer research, including basic, population science, translational, and clinical research.

Each application must involve at least one mentor with an active research program in prostate cancer. The mentor should have a strong publication record, funding, and a commitment to the PI's career progression.

The research proposal needs to demonstrate a solid scientific rationale, a feasible methodology, and a clear plan to achieve its goals. While preliminary data is encouraged, it is not mandatory. An individualized researcher development plan, prepared with mentorship guidance, is required to outline how the PI will gain necessary skills and expertise for the research project.

The research projects should aim to significantly impact the mission of reducing prostate cancer mortality and improving patient well-being. Applicants are encouraged to align their proposals with specific focus areas and challenges outlined by the Prostate Cancer Research Program (PCRP), or to justify how their project addresses important needs in the field, even if it does not directly tackle the overarching challenges.
