## What the grant funds

The FY21 PCRP Health Disparity Research Award supports promising research ideas that have high potential to make a significant impact in eliminating disparities in prostate cancer incidence, morbidity, mortality, and survivorship. Applications for this award are encouraged to be relevant to one or more of the FY21 PCRP Health Disparity Research Award Focus Areas and must explicitly state how the proposed research is related to the selected focus area(s). If the proposed project does not address one of the FY21 PCRP Health Disparity Research Award Focus Areas, the application must provide a description to justify how the project will nevertheless address a critical disparity-related need within the context of the FY21 PCRP Overarching Challenges. Applications are encouraged from a spectrum of disciplines, including but not limited to basic science, engineering, bioinformatics, population science, psycho-oncology, translational research, health care services. Community Engagement: Investigators are highly encouraged to engage members of the targeted population or community in the development and implementation of their research project, where appropriate. A comprehensive, but by no means exhaustive, list of health disparity research resources and community or advocacy organizations is provided at the end of the Health Disparity Research Award Information section. Applications that involve and utilize population- or community-based organizations to support their research project should demonstrate the level of involvement in letters of support for the application. Impact: Research supported by the FY21 PCRP Health Disparity Research Award is expected to have the potential to make a significant impact in addressing prostate cancer health disparities within the context of the FY21 PCRP Overarching Challenges. Research with a high degree of innovation is anticipated to have a higher potential for significant impact. Applications must also 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 continue advancing the research toward making a clinical impact, even if clinical impact is not an immediate outcome. Research Scope: Proposed projects may include basic, translational, or clinical research, including clinical trials.
