About this opportunity

The FY22 PCRP Idea Development Award is intended to support new ideas that represent innovative approaches to prostate cancer research and have the potential to make an important contribution to the PCRP Mission. The key components of this award mechanism are:• Innovation: Research deemed innovative may represent a new paradigm, challenge current paradigms, look at existing problems from new perspectives, leverage unique study populations, or exhibit other highly creative qualities. Research that is an incremental advance upon published data is not considered innovative. Projects involving multidisciplinary and/or data science approaches are especially encouraged.• Impact: Applications are required to address and provide a solution to one or more of the FY22 PCRP Overarching Challenges. The potential impact of the research, both short-term and long-term, in addressing the FY22 PCRP Overarching Challenge(s) should be clearly described. High-impact research will, if successful, significantly advance prostate cancer research and/or patient care.• Preliminary Data: Due to this award’s emphasis on innovation, the presentation of preliminary data relevant to prostate cancer and the proposed project is encouraged, but not required. Any unpublished, preliminary data provided should originate from the laboratory of the Principal Investigator (PI) or a member(s) of the research team. Regardless of whether preliminary data are included, applications should be based on a sound scientific rationale that is established through logical reasoning and/or critical review and analysis of the literature.To maximize the potential for impact, investigators are strongly encouraged to incorporate the following components into their study design where appropriate: authentication of proposed cell lines; statistical rigor of preclinical animal experiments and epidemiological studies; incorporation of experiments to assess clinical relevance and translatability of findings; and validation in patient cohorts. Investigators considering use of resources are highly encouraged to provide a letter of support indicating access to and the availability of the desired resources to support the study.New Investigator category: The FY22 PCRP Idea Development Award mechanism encourages research ideas from investigators in the early stages of their careers. The New Investigator category of this award mechanism is designed to allow applicant organizations to name PIs who are early in their faculty appointments or in the process of developing independent research careers. Applications submitted to the New Investigator category will be assessed using different review criteria for personnel (refer to Section II.E.1.a., Peer Review), and are required to include a collaborator (or collaborators) who has (have) experience in prostate cancer research, as demonstrated by a record of funding and publications. The application must describe the potential of the collaboration(s) to be successful and how the collaboration(s) will augment the PI’s expertise to better address the research question. In addition, applicants are strongly encouraged to provide a letter of collaboration from the collaborator(s) describing the collaborator(s) involvement in the proposed work. All applicants for the New Investigator category must meet specific eligibility criteria described in Section II.C, Eligibility Information.Multidisciplinary projects are encouraged, and multi-institutional projects are allowed. Each proposed study must include a clearly stated plan for interactions among all team members and organizations involved. The plan must include communication, coordination of research progress and results, and data transfer.
