## What the grant funds

The Patient Well-Being and Survivorship Award (PWSA) supports innovative research studies to advance studies in preservation of function (physical ability), quality of life, symptom management, resilience, relief from neurocognitive deficits, and support for psychosocial issues related to cancer diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship. Studies must address one or more of these critical issues in at least one of the FY23 PRCRP Topic Areas. The overall intention of the PWSA is to fill gaps in the understanding of survivorship, including investigations into the psychological health and well-being of those affected by cancer (e.g., patients, family members). This may include investigations into studies that improve mental health and/or cancer-related outcomes in defined populations. Studies also may assess the relationship(s) between behavioral and social functioning in relation to cancer initiation, progression, detection, treatment, and rehabilitation. Applications may propose studies that examine preservation of function, quality-of-life, well-being, decision-making, and/or cognitive function, development and testing of educational interventions, and symptom management (e.g., toxicity of treatment, palliative/supportive care, psychological distress and anxiety) throughout treatment and beyond. Applications may target development of evidence-based practices, behavioral health science and patient well-being interventions and surveillance, and identification of psychosocial patient outcomes. Basic laboratory studies are not appropriate for the Patient Well-Being and Survivorship Award and may be withdrawn. The critical components of this award mechanism are: · Impact: The PWSA is intended to support research that demonstrates the potential to have a major impact on patient well-being, outcomes, and health, including diagnosis, treatment, and after treatment. The proposed study must demonstrate how the research will transform outcomes related to at least one of the FY23 PRCRP Topic Areas. Research should challenge paradigms with respect to impact on patient care and outcomes. Proposed projects may include translational or clinical research, including pilot clinical trials. Impactful research will accelerate the movement of promising ideas into clinical applications and advance quality of life and survivorship. · Study Design: Applications should clearly articulate the chosen design of the study.
