About this opportunity

The Prostate Cancer Pathology Resource Network (PCPRN or Network) Award mechanism was previously offered in FY09 and FY13. In FY14, the Prostate Cancer Biospecimen Resource Site Award was offered to add additional sites to the Network. Since then, 6 PCPRN Award applications were received for the Coordinating Center plus Pathology Resource Site, with 2 being funded, and 19 were received for Pathology/Biospecimen Resource Sites, with 5 being funded. The anticipated direct costs budgeted for the entire period of performance for an FY17 PCRP PCPRN Award will not exceed $3.6M. Refer to Section II.D.5, Funding Restrictions, for detailed funding information. The FY17 PCRP PCPRN Award is intended to provide infrastructure support for the development and maintenance of a prostate cancer biorepository through a collaborative network across multiple institutions that will facilitate the distribution of high-quality human prostate cancer biospecimens. A major focus of the Network must be placed on the acquisition and distribution of specimens in limited supply, such as: • Castration-resistant disease, metastatic disease, primary untreated “de novo” metastatic disease as defined by STAMPEDE or high-risk disease defined by CHAARTED, tumors of the aggressive variant phenotype • Disproportionately affected populations, defined by ethnicity or health service access (safety net, rural, settings) • Active surveillance populations • Longitudinal/sequential specimens The Network must also manage data derived from the distributed biospecimens, including images of the hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained samples. Applications should describe how the development of the Network biorepository will enable the prostate cancer research community to address the FY17 PCRP Overarching Challenges and FY17 PCRP Focus Areas by utilizing Network biospecimens. Applications should propose a clearly defined mission that will guide the proposed Network’s biospecimen data collection processes. The Network will consist of three to five Pathology Resource Sites and a Coordinating Center, which will also function as one of the Pathology Resource Sites. These organizations will be jointly responsible for developing and maintaining the biorepository for prostate cancer research. The Coordinating Center and Pathology Resource Sites should together design the proposed biorepository. It is expected that the Coordinating Center will provide unique resources that may not be available at the Pathology Resource Sites and can be leveraged for the biorepository as a whole. Additionally, Pathology Resource Sites should each possess the ability to derivatize proteins from biospecimens and utilize both standard and state-of-the-art technologies ( laser capture microdissection, tissue microarrays) to provide the necessary biospecimen processing for a large range of prostate cancer research studies. Both and international organizations should be considered for inclusion in applications for this award. The Pathology Resource Sites should be selected for the individual contributions each can make to the biorepository; the contributions need not be equal but rather of unique value to the biorepository as a whole. If the contributions vary significantly among Pathology Resource Sites, variance in the budgets allocated to sites should be well described in the budget justification. The PCPRN Coordinating Center, in addition to functioning as a Pathology Resource Site, will serve as the nexus for Network information and planning, providing data management and providing support to Pathology Resource Sites in implementing Network policies and standard operating procedures (SOPs). Therefore, the Coordinating Center will have multidisciplinary expertise and extensive experience in multi-institutional collaborations in prostate cancer research.
