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  pl
 eased  to  announce  a  new  round  of funding for PCF Young Investi
 gators. We especially encourage young investigators working on prostate ca
 ncer health disparities to apply.\n\nPCF seeks applications from the globa
 l biomedical research community. Applicants traditionally under-represente
 d in science and medicine are highly encouraged. We seek applications from
  early-career basic scientists\, medical oncologists\,  pathologists\,  
 urologists\,  radiologists\,  radiation  oncologists\,  public  healt
 h  experts\,  bioinformaticians\, bioengineers\, or professionals from a
 ny other field that could contribute to the end of prostate cancer.  Appl
 icants may be  working  in  basic\,  translational\,  computational 
  or  clinical  research  and  need  not  be  trained  specifically
   in  prostate cancer research to be highly competitive.\n\nResearch  p
 roposals  submitted  in  consideration  for  this award  should\,  
 if  successful\, provide  high  impact  to  the  field. “Small-ste
 p” or incremental proposals are usually non-competitive.  Highly innova
 tive basic science programs will be carefully considered\, but priority wi
 ll be given to “bench to bedside” translational research proposals wit
 h the potential to deliver near term benefit to patients.\n\nFunding:   
      $75’000/year\n\nDuration:      3 years\n\nEligibility: Appl
 icant should be within six-years following completion of a professional de
 gree (MD\, PhD\, or equivalent) or subsequent mentored academic or clinica
 l training program.  Applicant must hold the title of Postdoctoral Fellow

 ine  at: https://pcf.smartsimple.com  With  the  exception  of  the
   Abstract\,  the Research Proposal and all supporting documents listed 
 below should be uploaded as separate PDF files.\n\n	A scientific abstract 
 concisely describing the background\, rationale\, specific aims\, experime
 ntal approach and anticipated outcomes and impact of the project is requir
 ed(fill-in form field).\n	A three-year research proposal no greater than f
 ive (5) pages\, plus a list of references cited is required.\n	A letter of
  support from the applicant’s mentor(s) indicating the applicant’s str
 engths and potential to become an independent investigator at the end of t
 he PCF Young Investigator Award is required. \n	A letter of support from

 at the  end of  the  PCF  Young Investigator  Award is required.  
  \n	A 1-2 page mentorship plan from the mentor detailing the commitment o
 f the mentor to launch an independent career  for  the  Young  Investi
 gator  in  prostate  cancer  research is  required.\n	The applicant
