DOD-CDMRP: Peer Reviewed Prostate Cancer Research Program (PCRP) – Pre-proposals

The Prostate Cancer Research Program prioritizes research that will 1) develop better tools for early detection of clinically relevant disease, 2) distinguish aggressive from indolent disease in men newly diagnosed, 3) develop effective treatments and address mechanisms of resistance for men with high risk or metastatic prostate cancer, and 4) develop strategies to optimize the physical and mental health of men with prostate cancer.
Idea Development Award - Supports innovative, high-risk/high-gain approaches to prostate cancer research, and have the potential to make an important contribution to eliminating death and enhancing the well-being of men with prostate cancer. Preliminary data are encouraged but not required. Innovation and Impact are the most important review criteria. New Investigator category available. Funding: $225K-$375K for 3 yrs.
Synergistic Idea Development Award - Supports new or existing partnerships between two or three independent investigators to address a central innovative question or problem in prostate cancer that may include high risk, provided there is a potential for significant impact. Emphasis on synergistic components is expected in application. Preliminary data are encouraged but not required Synergy, Innovation, and Impact are the most important review criteria. Funding: $750K for 3 yrs.
