Opportunity Summary:
The FY09 DOD Prostate Cancer HBCU Student Summer Training Program Award (Funding Opportunity Number W81XWH-09-PCRP-STPA) is a Department of the Army USAMRAA funding opportunity under the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs Prostate Cancer Research Program (PCRP). Its central purpose is workforce development: building and strengthening a pipeline of future prostate cancer researchers by supporting structured summer research training experiences for undergraduate students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). A major emphasis is on preparing trainees who are likely to pursue work related to prostate cancer health disparities, an area of particular relevance given the disproportionate burden of prostate cancer in Black men.
The award provides funds to create new or expand existing summer training programs hosted at an institution with active, ongoing prostate cancer research. The host institution is led by a Program Director who serves as the Principal Investigator (PI) and must demonstrate a strong record in prostate cancer research as well as research training. While the host institution can be an HBCU, the program is designed to be collaborative across institutions: if the PI institution is an HBCU, the undergraduate trainees must be recruited from a different HBCU. In all cases, the program must formally involve the trainees home HBCU through a named HBCU faculty advisor who coordinates with the PI during the summer experience and throughout the academic year.
Program structure requirements are specific. Each funded program must enroll at least four undergraduate HBCU trainees per year, and those students must participate in an 8 to 12 week summer training period at the PI institution. The training experience is expected to go beyond basic lab placement and should include a coherent program of mentored research along with educational components such as seminars, symposia, and potentially relevant coursework or professional development activities. Trainees may be identified in the proposal or listed as to be named (TBN), but the application must clearly spell out the selection criteria and recruitment approach used at the HBCU(s).
Applications are expected to address several core review elements. Proposals should detail the qualifications of the PI and any additional mentors or program faculty, including evidence of prior success mentoring and training undergraduate students. They should clearly describe the design of the summer program itself, including what research experiences and learning activities trainees will receive. They must also present a realistic plan for recruiting trainees from one or more HBCUs and, importantly, a plan for sustained interaction and mentoring after the summer ends. The role and qualifications of the HBCU faculty advisor must be described, since that individual is responsible for coordinating trainee activities with the PI both during the summer and during the following academic year. If multiple mentors are involved, the proposal must still identify one person as the PI with clear leadership responsibility.
A key goal of this mechanism is institutional partnership building that lasts beyond a single summer. The program is intended to establish or strengthen collaborations between the PI institution and participating HBCUs in ways that lead to continued mentoring, ongoing engagement, and eventual recruitment of talented HBCU students into longer-term prostate cancer research training opportunities at the host institution. To support accountability, the government may require the host institution to participate in an on-site audit to assess program progress.
Administratively, this opportunity was posted February 11, 2009, with an original and current closing date of May 20, 2009, and an archive date of June 19, 2009. The funding instrument type is listed as a cooperative agreement and grant, with an anticipated eight awards and an estimated total funding level of $1.6 million. It falls under CFDA 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development) and does not require cost sharing or matching. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted (open to any entity type), subject to any additional eligibility clarifications in the full announcement. For assistance, the announcement provides contacts for program announcement access issues and for electronic submission support through the CDMRP helpdesk.

What is the main purpose of this award?
The central purpose is workforce development. The program is intended to build and strengthen a pipeline of future prostate cancer researchers by funding organized summer research training programs for HBCU undergraduates, with a major emphasis on preparing trainees who are likely to pursue work related to prostate cancer health disparities.
What health focus does the program emphasize?
The program highlights prostate cancer health disparities, noted as particularly relevant due to the disproportionate burden of prostate cancer in Black men.
What types of programs can be funded (new vs. existing)?
Funds may be used to create new summer training programs or to expand existing summer training programs.
Where must the summer training program be hosted?
The summer training must be hosted at an institution with active, ongoing prostate cancer research (the PI institution).
Who leads the program, and what qualifications are expected?

Can an HBCU serve as the host (PI) institution?
Yes. The host institution can be an HBCU, but the program is designed to be collaborative across institutions with specific recruitment rules if the PI institution is an HBCU.
If the PI institution is an HBCU, where must trainees be recruited from?
If the PI institution is an HBCU, the undergraduate trainees must be recruited from a different HBCU.
Is collaboration with the trainees home HBCU required?
Yes. The program must formally involve each trainee's home HBCU through a named HBCU faculty advisor who coordinates with the PI during the summer experience and throughout the academic year.
What is the role of the HBCU faculty advisor?
The HBCU faculty advisor is responsible for coordinating trainee activities with the PI both during the summer and during the following academic year. The application must describe the advisor's role and qualifications.
