Aim: Through the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program (CDMRP), the Department of Defense is announcing the Peer Reviewed Cancer Research Program (PRCRP) for 2018. The Horizon Award supports junior-level scientists in conducting impactful research with the mentorship of an experienced cancer researcher (i.e., Mentor). The Horizon Award challenges junior scientists to develop and implement research in the cancer field. This opportunity allows for junior investigators to develop a research project, investigate a problem or question in the field of cancer, and further their intellectual development as a cancer researcher of the future.
To be considered for funding, applications for the FY18 PRCRP Horizon Award must address at least one of the FY18 PRCRP Topic Areas as directed by Congress. In addition, applications must also address at least one of the FY18 PRCRP Military Relevance Focus Areas. These lists are given at the end of this announcement.
Funding: Maximum USD $ 150’000
Duration: 2 years
Eligibility: Applicants from international organizations or institutions are eligible to apply, and there are no citizenship restrictions. Both predoctoral candidates (within 2 years of PhD completion) and postdoctoral fellows (within 3 years of PhD completion) are eligible to be the principal investigator. The Mentor must be an experienced cancer researcher as demonstrated by a strong record of active funding and publications. The PI and Mentor must be at the same organization.
How to Apply: Pre-applications are submitted through the eBRAP platform. They should contain contact information, a list of collaborators and key personnel, a letter of intent, and supporting documents as suggested on the platform. Full applications (by invitation) will be made via a Grants.gov workspace. Full application packages can be downloaded from Grants.gov at any time.
