About this opportunity

The FY19 PCRP Translational Science Award mechanism supports translational research that will develop promising ideas in prostate cancer into clinical applications. Translational research may be defined as an integration of basic science and clinical observations. Observations that drive a research idea may originate from a laboratory discovery, population-based studies, or a clinician’s firsthand knowledge of patient care. The ultimate goal of translational research is to move a concept or observation forward into clinical application. As such, applications must include a detailed transition plan that articulates the pathway to moving the project’s findings to the next phase of development after successful completion of the award, and how the Principal Investigator (PI) will continue advancing the research toward making a clinical impact, even if clinical impact is not an immediate outcome. However, PIs should not view translational research as a one-way continuum from bench to bedside. The research plan must involve a reciprocal flow of ideas and information between basic and clinical science. The potential impact of the research is expected to be significant and go beyond an incremental advance. Proposed projects may include science, and/or clinical research, but must demonstrate clinical relevance. This mechanism is intended to fund a broad range of translational studies including, but not limited to, the following: • Studies advancing/translating in-vitro and/or animal studies to applications with human samples/cohorts • Late-stage preclinical work leading to/preparing for a clinical trial, Investigational New Drug application submission • Correlative studies that are associated with an open/ongoing or completed clinical trial and projects that develop endpoints for clinical trials Preliminary data to support the feasibility of the research hypotheses and research approaches are required. Investigators whose studies require the use of retrospectively collected human anatomical substances or correlated data are strongly encouraged to consider utilizing the PCRP-funded Prostate Cancer Biorepository Network (PCBN) (http://www.prostatebiorepository.org) and/or the North Carolina – Louisiana Prostate Cancer Project (PCaP) (https://pcap.bioinf.unc.edu). A Congressionally mandated Metastatic Cancer Task Force was formed with the purpose of identifying ways to help accelerate clinical and translational research aimed at extending the lives of advanced state and recurrent patients. As a member of the Metastatic Cancer Task Force, CDMRP encourages applicants to review the recommendations (https://health.mil/Reference-Center/Congressional-Testimonies/2018/05/03/Metastatic-Cancer-Research) and submit research ideas to address these recommendations provided they are within the limitations of this funding opportunity and fit within the FY19 PCRP priorities. The proposed research must be relevant to active duty Service beneficiaries, and/or the American public. The proposed research must be relevant to active duty Service beneficiaries, and/or the American public. The anticipated direct costs budgeted for the entire period of performance for an FY19 PCRP TSA will not exceed $750,000. Refer to Section II.D.5, Funding Restrictions, for detailed funding information. The CDMRP expects to allot approximately $12.0M to fund approximately 10 Translational Science Award applications. Funding of applications received is contingent upon the availability of Federal funds for this program as well as the number of applications received, the quality and merit of the applications as evaluated by scientific and programmatic review, and the requirements of the Government. Funds to be obligated on any award resulting from this funding opportunity will be available for use for a limited time period based on the fiscal year of the funds.
