DESCRIPTION:Aim: Through the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Pro
 gram (CDMRP)\, the Department of Defense is announcing the Peer-Reviewed C
 ancer Research Program (PRCRP) Awards. The PRCRP Career Development Award 
 seeking to advance cancer research through development of early career inv
 estigators. Dependent on the accomplishments of candidates\, the PRCRP wil
 l offer two distinct early career development options: the Fellow Option (
 CDA-FO) and the Virtual Cancer Center Scholar Option (CDA-SO). This award 
 supports impactful research projects with an emphasis on discovery.\n \n\
 n	Fellow Option: Supports independent\, early-career investigators (referr
 ed to as Fellows) to conduct impactful research with the guidance of an ex
 perienced cancer researcher (i.e.\, Career Guide).\n	Virtual Cancer Center
  Scholar Option: Supports independent\, highly accomplished early career i
 nvestigators (referred to as Scholars) to conduct impactful research under
  the guidance of an experienced cancer researcher (i.e. Career Guide). Pre
 sents an opportunity for Scholars to participate in the unique\, interacti
 ve Virtual Cancer Center (VCC) focused on fostering the next generation of
  cancer researchers. This award provides intensive mentoring\, national ne
 tworking\, and a peer group for junior faculty. For more information\, ref
 er to the FY20 Virtual Cancer Center Director Funding Opportunity (W81XWH-
 20-PRCRP-VCCDA).\n\n\nAll applications for PRCRP funding must specifically
  address at least one of the Topic Areas as directed by Congress and have 
 direct relevance to military health. The FY20 PRCRP Topic Areas are listed
  at the end of this announcement.\n\nFunding:        Fellow option

 tions are eligible to apply\, and there are no citizenship restrictions. S
 ee below for eligibility requirements for the Fellow vs. Scholar options:\
 n\n\n	Fellow Option: The PI must be an early-career researcher or physicia
 n-scientist within 7 years after completion of their terminal degree by th
 e time of the application deadline (excluding time spent in residency\, cl
 inical training\, or on family medical leave). Time spent as a postdoctora
 l fellow is not excluded. Postdoctoral fellows are not considered independ
 ent and are not eligible for this award mechanism. Because career developm
 ent is the focus of this award\, the PI’s organization must demonstrate 
 a commitment to the PI through confirmation of laboratory space and at lea
 st 50% protected time for cancer research.\n	Scholar Option: In addition t
 o the requirements of the Fellow Option\, the Scholar must be in a tenure-
 track position. The Scholar must demonstrate significant accomplishments\,
  including first-authored publications\, extramural funding\, and show an 
 excellence in cancer research as supported by letters of recommendation. T
 he Scholar must have independent laboratory space separate from the Career
  Guide’s laboratory or other mentor’s laboratory.\n	Career Guide: Both
  the Fellow and the Scholar must designate a Career Guide. The Career Guid
 e must be an experienced cancer researcher\, as demonstrated by a strong r
 ecord of funding and publications.\n\n\nHow to Apply: Pre-applications are
  submitted through the eBRAP platform. They should contain contact informa
 tion\, a preproposal narrative\, and a list of collaborators and key perso
