About this opportunity

The PCRP Health Disparity Research Award mechanism was introduced in FY01. Since then, 177 applications have been received, and 45 have been recommended for funding. In FY09, through a Request for Information (RFI), the PCRP solicited feedback from the prostate cancer research community on critical needs to facilitate prostate cancer health disparity research. This award mechanism has been modified for FY10 in response to the RFI feedback received. The Health Disparity Research Award supports new ideas that represent innovative approaches to prostate cancer health disparity research with the potential to make an important contribution to eliminating death and suffering from prostate cancer. The Health Disparity Research Award reflects the PCRP’s commitment to resolving disparities in prostate cancer mortality by funding health disparity-focused projects. Studies proposed for this award mechanism are expected to improve the understanding of, and ultimately eliminate, health disparities. Applicants for this award must explicitly state how the proposed research is related to an area of prostate cancer health disparity. Appropriate health disparity areas include, but are not limited to, race and ethnicity, socioeconomic status, access to health care, insurance cultural beliefs. Due to this award’s emphasis on innovation, presentation of preliminary data relevant to prostate cancer and the proposed project is encouraged but not required. Any preliminary data provided should be from the laboratory of the Principal Investigator (PI) or member(s) of the collaborating team. Research involving human subject use is permitted under this funding opportunity, but is restricted to studies without clinical trials. In general, a clinical trial is defined as a prospective study where an intervention ( procedure, or other) is tested on human subjects for a measurable outcome. Refer to the General Application Instructions, Appendix 5, for additional information about studies involving human subjects, human subjects data, or human anatomical substances. The PCRP seeks Health Disparity Research Award applications from the wide spectrum of basic to clinical research (excluding clinical trials). Applications must be responsive to at least one of the PCRP focus areas and, although not required, may also be responsive to the PCRP overarching challenges. PIs wishing to apply for funding for population-based studies may also consider submitting an application for the PCRP Population-Based Research Award; each research project may be submitted to only one award mechanism. New for FY10! The following components of the Health Disparity Research Award are new for this fiscal year: 1. Qualified Collaborator Option: The FY10 Health Disparity Research Award strongly supports collaborative research between basic and clinical researchers, between researchers with prostate cancer expertise and those with health disparity expertise, and between researchers and community organizations that may be critical to the study of populations disproportionately affected by prostate cancer. Although these and other types of collaboration are, in general, strongly encouraged, collaborations that meet specific criteria will qualify for a higher level of funding as described in Section Funding. For the application to qualify for a higher level of funding, the PI must submit a Qualified Collaboration Statement that clearly describes the collaborator and addresses how each of the criteria below are met. In addition, the collaborator must provide a letter of collaboration describing his/her involvement in the proposed work. It should be clear that the success of the project depends on the unique skills and contributions of both the PI and the qualified collaborator.
