About this opportunity

The PCRP Health Disparity Training Award mechanism was introduced in FY01. Since then, 30 applications have been received, and 16 have been recommended for funding. The Health Disparity Training Award supports predoctoral and postdoctoral training opportunities focused on prostate cancer health disparity research. The trainee will be considered the Principal Investigator (PI) and author of the proposal. These awards primarily provide salary support for the PI and require the active involvement of a mentor who is an experienced prostate cancer health disparity researcher, as evidenced by a demonstrated record of funding and publications. The focus of these awards is on the PI, the mentor, and the training program and environment. The Health Disparity Training Award reflects the PCRP’s commitment to resolving disparities in prostate cancer mortality by preparing young investigators to focus their careers on prostate cancer health disparity research. Applicants for this award must explicitly state how the proposed training program and research project are 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. All applications for the Health Disparity Training Award are to be written by the proposed trainee, with appropriate direction from the mentor. The PCRP seeks applications from the wide spectrum of basic to clinical research, that are responsive to at least one of the PCRP focus areas. It is encouraged, although not required, that Health Disparity Training Award applications also be responsive to at least one of the PCRP overarching challenges. Health Disparity Research Resources: Potential applicants for the Health Disparity Training Award are encouraged to seek out other investigators and information on prostate cancer health disparity research through the following resources: • Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP): Search the CDMRP awards database at http:// • The North Carolina – Louisiana Prostate Cancer Project (PCaP): PCaP is supported by the PCRP to conduct prostate cancer health disparity studies.
