About this opportunity

The PCRP Prostate Cancer Biospecimen Resource Site (PCBRSA) Award mechanism is being offered for the first time in FY14. This award mechanism is designed as an opportunity to expand upon the Prostate Cancer Pathology Resource Network Award, offered in FY09 and FY13. Background: The FY13 PCRP Prostate Cancer Pathology Resource Network Award is currently supporting four organizations that together form the Prostate Cancer Biorepository Network (PCBN) (http://www.prostatebiorepository.org/). These organizations include Johns Hopkins University, designated as both the Coordinating Center and a Resource Site, and New York University, University of Washington, and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center as three additional Resource Sites. The PCRP provides infrastructure support to these awardees for the development and maintenance of a prostate cancer biorepository that will facilitate the distribution of high-quality human prostate cancer biospecimens to be distributed to the prostate cancer research community. Biospecimens, which include fluids, and other source genomic and proteomic material, are collected from the broad spectrum of prostate cancer clinical stages, but major emphasis is placed on the acquisition and distribution of specimens in limited supply ( castration-resistant disease, metastatic disease, tumors of the neuroendocrine phenotype, disproportionately affected populations, active surveillance populations, longitudinal specimens). The PCBN is also responsible for the management of data derived from distributed biospecimens. All PCBN organizations are jointly responsible for maintaining and enhancing the activities of the biorepository. The PCBN Coordinating Center, in addition to functioning as a Resource Site, serves as the nexus for information and planning, providing data management, and providing support to Resource Sites in implementing PCBN policies and standard operating procedures (SOPs). Additional responsibilities of the PCBN Coordinating Center are described in the FY13 Prostate Cancer Pathology Resource Network Award Program Announcement found at http://cdmrp.army.mil/funding/pa/13pcrppcprna_pa.pdf. FY14 Funding Opportunity: The intent of the PCBRSA is to expand the PCBN by adding Resource Sites that will enhance the biorepository’s utility to prostate cancer researchers through the provision of biospecimens that are unique and/or in limited supply. Both and international organizations are encouraged to apply to this Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity. Biospecimens encouraged for the current funding opportunity include, but are not limited to: • Samples from disproportionately affected populations • Biopsies of metastatic lesions (particularly those with matched primary tissue) • Pre- and post-neoadjuvant matched tissue samples and/or matched serum/plasma samples • Serial samples of tissue or body fluids ( serum, plasma, urine) that may include: ○ pre- and post-androgen deprivation therapy or metastatic therapy ○ pre- and post-castrate resistant status ○ high-risk prostate cancer (pT3 or prostatectomy Gleason score ≥ 4+3), both pre- prostatectomy and at long-term (3+ years recurrence-free or time of recurrence or metastasis) ○ active surveillance baseline and at time of histopathologic progression ( biopsy Gleason upgrading or increase in biopsy tumor volume) Principal Investigators applying to this award mechanism are also encouraged to review the current specimens offered by the PCBN described at http://www.prostatebiorepository.org/specimens). Applications for the PCBRSA should describe how the organization’s contributions to the PCBN will enhance its ability to enable the prostate cancer research community to address the PCRP overarching challenges and PCRP focus areas. The principal areas of responsibility for each Resource Site are as follows: 1. Biospecimens: The biorepository distributes high-quality human prostate cancer biospecimens.
