Aim: The Prostate Cancer Foundation champions investment in human capital to fast-forward solutions for prostate cancer with the ultimate 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 new round of funding for PCF Young Investigators. We especially encourage young investigators working on prostate cancer health disparities to apply.
PCF seeks applications from the global biomedical research community. Applicants traditionally under-represented in science and medicine are highly encouraged. We seek applications from early-career basic scientists, medical oncologists, pathologists, urologists, radiologists radiation oncologists, public health experts, bioinformaticians, bioengineers, or professionals from any other field that could contribute to the end of prostate cancer. Applicants may be working in basic, translational, computational or clinical research and need not be trained specifically in prostate cancer research to be highly competitive.
Research proposals submitted in consideration for this award should, if successful, provide high impact to the field. “Small-step” or incremental proposals are usually non-competitive. Highly innovative basic science programs will be carefully considered, but priority will be given to “bench to bedside” translational research proposals with the potential to deliver near term benefit to patients.
Funding: $75’000 / year
Duration: 36 months
Eligibility: Applicant should be within six-years following completion of a professional degree (MD, PhD, or equivalent) or subsequent mentored academic or clinical training program. Applicant must hold the title of Postdoctoral Fellow, Instructor, Research Associate, Assistant Professor or equivalent. Applicant must be under the direct supervision of a mentor(s). At least one mentor at the applicant’s institution is required. The Applicant should not have been granted commitments for more than $200,000 in direct research funding from all sources including institutional funds at the time of this application.
How to Apply: The 2-step application process begins with the submission of a Letter of Intent (LOI; see template). The completed LOI should be complimented with an NIH biosketch and sent via email to [email protected]. 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.
Deadline, LOI: 10 February 2023 (3:00 pm EST)
Deadline, Full proposal: 24 April 2023 (3:00 pm EST)
