About this opportunity

The PCRP Health Disparity Training Award mechanism was introduced in FY01. Since then, 28 applications have been received and 15 have been recommended for funding. The Health Disparity Training Award supports training opportunities focused on prostate cancer disparity for individuals in the early stages of their careers. The award funds research under the guidance of a mentor who is an experienced prostate cancer health disparity researcher. PIs may apply for predoctoral and postdoctoral traineeships through this award mechanism. Appropriate disparity areas include, but are not limited to:• Race and ethnicity• Socioeconomic status• Access to health care• Insurance status• Age• Geography• Cultural beliefsThe mentor must demonstrate a connection to, or effectiveness in working with, the affected population or community. Such connection(s) may include:• Being a member of the affected population or community with a demonstrated commitment to the affected population or community;• Having experience working with the affected population or community; or• Having interactions with and/or active membership in organizations such as the Urban League, National Medical Association, National Alliance for Hispanic Health, American Indian Health Care Association, National Rural Health Association, Patient Advocate Foundation National African American Outreach Program, or Prostate Health Education Network (PHEN).The proposal must explicitly state how the proposed research is related to a health disparity area in prostate cancer.The focus of these awards is on the PI, the mentor, and the training program and environment.

All Health Disparity Training Award proposals are to be written with appropriate direction from the mentor and signed by the trainee as the PI and author of the proposal.
