DESCRIPTION:Aim: Through the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Pro
 gram (CDMRP)\, the Department of Defense is announcing the Prostate Cancer
  Research Program (PCRP) Awards. The PCRP Early Investigator Research Awar
 d supports prostate cancer-focused research opportunities for individuals 
 in the early stages of their careers under the guidance of one or more des
 ignated Mentors. This opportunity allows early-career investigators to dev
 elop a research project\, investigate a problem or question in prostate ca
 ncer research\, and further their intellectual development as prostate can
 cer researchers of the future.\n\nKey elements of this award mechanism are
  as follows:\n\n	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 o
 f prostate cancer research.\n	Mentor(s): Applications must include at leas
 t one Mentor\, appropriate to the proposed research project\, who has expe
 rience in prostate cancer research and mentoring as demonstrated by a reco
 rd of active funding\, recent publications\, and successful mentorship.\n\
 n\n\n	Research Approach: Proposed research ideas are required to address o
 ne or more of the FY20 PCRP Overarching Challenges\, which are listed at t
 he end of this announcement.\n\n\n\n	Researcher Development Plan: The PI m
 ust outline an individualized\, prostate cancer-focused researcher develop
 ment plan\, which should include a clearly articulated strategy for acquir
 ing the necessary skills\, competence\, and expertise that will enable the
  PI to successfully complete the proposed research project and foster the 
 PI’s development as an independent prostate cancer researcher.\n\n\nFund
 ing:        max. $300’000\n\nDuration:      4 years\n\nEligibi
 lity: Applicants from international organizations or institutions are elig
 ible to apply\, and there are no citizenship restrictions. The postdoc (PI
 ) must have 3 years or less of postdoctoral research experience (excluding
  clinical residency or clinical fellowship training) as of March 31\, 2021
 . Applications must include at least one Mentor\, appropriate to the propo
 sed research project.\n\nHow to Apply: Pre-applications are submitted thro
 ugh the eBRAP platform. They should contain contact information\, a letter
  of intent\, and a list of potential letter writers\, and a biospecimen re
 source statement as suggested on the platform. Full applications (by invit
 ation) will be made via a Grants.gov workspace. Full application packages
