DOD – CDMRP: Peer Reviewed Cancer Research Program (PRCRP) – Pre-applications

-Career Development Award: supports early-career investigators to conduct innovative research with the mentorship of an experienced cancer researcher. Research must focus on one of the FY13 PRCRP Topic Areas (blood cancers, colorectal cancer, genetic cancer research, kidney cancer, listeria vaccine for cancer, melanoma and other skin cancers, mesothelioma, neuroblastoma, pancreatic cancer, and pediatric brain tumors ), excluding breast, prostate, lung (excluding mesothelioma), or ovarian cancer research. There is an Optional Nested Postdoctoral Fellow Traineeship. Funding: up to $240,000 in direct costs (plus indirect costs) over 2 years.

-Idea Award with Special Focus: supports innovative, untested, high-risk/potentially high-reward concepts, theories, paradigms, and/or methods in cancer research that are directly relevant to service members, their families, and other military beneficiaries. Research must address one of the FY13 PRCRP Topic Areas listed above as well as one of the FY13 PRCRP Military Relevance Focus Areas: (1) Susceptibility to developing cancers due to exposure to militarily relevant environmental or chemical carcinogens (including transgenerational effects); (2) Identification of predictive and prognostic biomarkers of developing cancers due to exposure to militarily relevant environmental or chemical carcinogens; (3) Molecular mechanisms by which environmental influences associated with military exposures alter gene structure, stability, and expression, and; (4) Examination of cancer diagnosis and prognosis effects on the psychosocial well-being of military beneficiaries.

Funding: up to $300,000 in direct costs (plus indirect costs) over 2 years.
