What the grant funds

The FY22 PCRP Physician Research Award supports a mentored research experience to prepare physicians with clinical duties and/or responsibilities for productive careers in prostate cancer research. The mentored physician is considered the Principal Investigator (PI) of the application. This award emphasizes equally the quality of the proposed research project and the career development of the PI, which should prepare physicians for careers in basic, population science, translational, or clinical prostate cancer research. All applications for the FY22 PCRP Physician Research Award are to be written by the PI, with appropriate direction from the mentor(s). Key elements of this award mechanism are as follows: • Principal Investigator: Physicians with clinical duties and/or responsibilities who, at the application submission deadline, are either in the last year of an accredited graduate medical education program as a resident or fellow, or within 5 years of having initiated a faculty appointment (including Instructor positions), are eligible to apply. The PI must demonstrate a commitment to a career as an investigator at the forefront of prostate cancer research and clinical practice; however, the PI is not required to have previous prostate cancer research experience. The award is intended to provide protection of the PI’s time for prostate cancer research. Applications are strongly encouraged to demonstrate protection of at least 40% of the PI’s time for prostate cancer research, which is not required to be exclusive to this award but can include effort dedicated to other prostate cancer research projects. • Mentor(s): This award requires the involvement of at least one designated mentor with an established research program in prostate cancer, as evidenced by recent publications, active funding, and successful mentorship. In addition, the mentor(s) must demonstrate a commitment to advancing the PI’s career in prostate cancer research. • Research Approach: Proposed research ideas are required to address one or more of the FY22 PCRP Overarching Challenges. The scientific rationale and experimental methodology should demonstrate in-depth analysis of the research problem presented. The feasibility of the research design and methods should be well defined, and a clear plan should be articulated as to how the proposed goals of the project can be achieved.
