## What the grant funds

The FY22 PCRP Early Investigator Research Award supports prostate cancer-focused research opportunities for individuals in the early stages of their careers under the guidance of one or more designated mentors. This opportunity allows early-career investigators to develop a research project, investigate a problem or question in prostate cancer research, and further their intellectual development as prostate cancer researchers of the future. All application components for the FY22 PCRP Early Investigator Research Award are to be written by the Principal Investigator (PI), with appropriate direction from the mentor(s). Key elements of this award mechanism are as follows: • Principal Investigator: The postdoctoral investigator is considered the PI of the application and must exhibit strong potential for and commitment to pursuing a career as an investigator at the forefront of prostate cancer research; however, the PI is not required to have previous prostate cancer research experience. The PI must have 3 years or less of postdoctoral research experience (excluding clinical residency or clinical fellowship training) as of March 31, 2023. The PCRP strongly encourages applications from PIs who demonstrate a commitment to pursuing a career focused in prostate cancer health disparity research. • Mentor(s): Applications must include at least one mentor appropriate to the proposed research project who has experience in prostate cancer research and mentoring as demonstrated by a record of active funding, recent publications, and successful mentorship. The primary mentor can be a junior faculty member, in which case the PI is encouraged to include a secondary mentor with a more robust track record in prostate cancer research and mentorship. Applications that focus on prostate cancer health disparity should include at least one mentor with experience in prostate cancer health disparity research. The selected mentor(s) should also demonstrate a clear commitment to the development of the PI toward independence as a prostate cancer researcher. • Research Approach: Proposed research ideas are required to address one or more of the FY22 PCRP Overarching Challenges. Projects that specifically address the FY22 PCRP Overarching Challenge to advance health equity and reduce disparities in prostate cancer are strongly encouraged. The scientific rationale and experimental methodology should demonstrate in-depth analysis of the research problem presented.
