DESCRIPTION:Aim:  The Prostate Cancer  Foundation champions investment i
 n human capital to fast-forward solutions for prostate cancer with the ult
 imate goal of ending death and suffering from metastatic prostate cancer.
   We continue to focus significant efforts  on developing gifted cohorts
  of young  prostate cancer researchers.  We are pleased to announce a ne
 w round of funding for PCF Young Investigators. We especially encourage yo
 ung investigators working on prostate cancer health disparities to apply.\
 n\nPCF seeks applications from the global biomedical research community. A
 pplicants traditionally under-represented in science and medicine are high
 ly encouraged. We seek applications from early-career basic scientists\, m
 edical oncologists\,  pathologists\, urologists\, radiologists radiation
   oncologists\, public health experts\,  bioinformaticians\, bioengineer
 s\, or professionals from any other field that could contribute to the end
  of prostate cancer.  Applicants may be working in basic\,  translationa
 l\, computational or clinical  research and need not be trained  specifi
 cally in prostate cancer research to be highly competitive.\n\nResearch pr
 oposals submitted in consideration for this award should\,  if successful
 \, provide high impact to the field. “Small-step” or incremental propo
 sals are usually non-competitive.  Highly innovative basic science progra
 ms will be carefully considered\, but priority will be given to “bench t
 o bedside” translational research proposals with the potential to delive
 r near term benefit to patients.\n\nFunding:       $75’000 / year\n
 \nDuration:      36 months\n\nEligibility: Applicant should be within
  six-years following completion of a professional degree (MD\, PhD\, or eq
 uivalent) or subsequent mentored academic or clinical training program.  
 Applicant must hold the title of Postdoctoral Fellow\, Instructor\, Resear
 ch Associate\, Assistant Professor or equivalent. Applicant must be under 
 the direct supervision of a mentor(s). At least one mentor at the applican
 t’s institution is required. The Applicant should not have been granted 
 commitments for more than $200\,000 in direct research funding from all so
 urces including institutional funds at the time of this application.\n\nHo
 w to Apply: The 2-step application process begins with the submission of a
  Letter of Intent (LOI\; see template). The completed LOI should be compli
 mented with an NIH biosketch and sent via email to LettersOfIntent@pcf.org
 . LOIs must be submitted by 10 February\, and feedback will be received by
  27 February at the latest. Selected applicants will be invited to submit 
 a full proposal. Full proposals will be submitted on a dedicated platform.
