About this opportunity

The Synergistic Population and Data Science Award mechanism supports multi-institutional partnerships that will leverage existing prostate cancer patient datasets or cohorts to answer questions that will make a significant impact in addressing the FY19 PCRP Overarching Challenges. Thus, applications must be responsive to at least one of the FY19 PCRP Overarching Challenges. The award is intended to support both the development of infrastructure to facilitate access to multiple datasets/cohorts by a team of investigators, as well as conducting hypothesis-based studies utilizing the multi-institutional datasets. To qualify for this mechanism, a minimum of three institutions and three well-annotated patient datasets/cohorts is required. Dataset Coordination: Central to the pursuit of the hypothesis proposed in the application is the development of the infrastructure to facilitate multi-institutional access to the identified datasets/cohorts. The application must describe the key elements that will need to be in place in order to facilitate the multi-institution collaboration, including: • Administrative and management plans for decision-making and allocation of resources • Description of the dataset logistics, including storage, how data will be shared among PIs/institutions, and plans for data harmonization • Description of key members and roles of the multi-institutional research team • Communication plans among the research team members to discuss research progress and results • Regulatory plan, including coordination of local Institutional Review Board (IRB) approvals • Data security and integrity measures • Intellectual property plan • Plan for disseminating information and distributing data to the prostate cancer research community Synergistic Research Team: The Synergistic Population and Data Science Award mechanism requires the collaboration of a minimum of three Principal Investigators (PIs) at three or more institutions or organizations. One PI will be identified as the Initiating PI and will be responsible for the majority of the administrative tasks associated with application submission. The other PIs will be identified as Partnering PIs. Initiating and Partnering PIs each have different submission requirements, as described in Section II.D.2, Content and Form of the Application Submission; however, all PIs should contribute significantly to the development of the proposed research project, including the Project Narrative, Statement of Work, and other required components. If recommended for funding, each PI will be named to an individual award within the recipient organization. The Initiating PI is expected to have experience in successfully leading the management of multi-institutional research projects. The PI should create a virtual environment that fosters and supports collaboration and creativity, with consistent, intensive interaction within the research team in a way that engages all investigators in all aspects of the research project. The epidemiologic and/or biostatistical expertise of the study team should be clearly described and evident in the study plan. Research Project: Subsequent to the establishment of the infrastructure needed to facilitate the research collaboration, it is expected that the research team will utilize the multi-institutional patient datasets/cohorts to address a central hypothesis that could only be addressed through systematic studies of the assembled datasets/cohorts. The outcomes of the proposed research project should have the potential to make a substantial impact on addressing the FY19 PCRP Overarching Challenges. Applications may propose case other population or data science study designs (including the use of biospecimens and data from established retrospective databases), provided the study is retrospective and the population is of sufficient size to provide appropriate statistical power.
