DoD Prostate Cancer Postdoctoral Training Award | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The DoD Prostate Cancer Postdoctoral Training Award (Funding Opportunity Number W81XWH-12-PCRP-PTA) is a U.S. Department of Defense, Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) funding opportunity administered through the Department of the Army and the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA). Its purpose is to support prostate cancer-focused research training for postdoctoral trainees who have recently completed a doctoral degree. In practical terms, the program is designed to help early-career scientists build specialized expertise, produce high-quality research outputs, and move toward independent research careers in the prostate cancer field.

A defining feature of this award is the structured mentorship requirement. The principal investigator (PI) must have a designated mentor who is already an experienced prostate cancer researcher. This signals that the award is meant to be strongly training-oriented rather than simply funding a standalone research project. Applicants should expect that the proposed work will be evaluated not only for scientific merit and relevance to prostate cancer, but also for the strength of the training environment, the mentor's qualifications and track record, and how clearly the project and mentoring plan develop the trainee's skills and career trajectory in prostate cancer research.

From an administrative and funding standpoint, this opportunity was offered under the broad category of Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and it used two possible funding instrument types: cooperative agreement and grant. No cost sharing or matching was required, which generally lowers barriers for applicants and institutions because they are not required to contribute a specific portion of the project costs from non-federal sources. The opportunity was listed as discretionary and was open to a wide range of applicant organizations (described as unrestricted eligibility, subject to any clarifications that would have appeared in the full announcement). The CFDA number associated with this program is 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development).

The program anticipated making about 24 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $3,000,000 for the competition. The public listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which typically indicates that the specific budget limits and allowable costs were provided in the full announcement rather than encoded in the summary fields. Key dates for this particular solicitation were a posting date of March 22, 2012, and an application deadline (original and current closing date) of June 20, 2012, with an archive date of July 20, 2012, meaning the solicitation is no longer active and is included for historical record.

For applicants or institutions that needed help obtaining or accessing the complete announcement, the listing directed them to the CDMRP Help Desk at 301-682-5507.
