Description

NA The fiscal year 2003 (FY03) Defense Appropriations Act provides $85 million to the Department of Defense Prostate Cancer Research Program (PCRP) to support innovative research directed toward eliminating prostate cancer. This program is administered by th e US Army Medical Research and Materiel Command through the Office of the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP). The PCRP is releasing Program Announcements for nine different funding mechanisms in FY03. The name of each funding mechan ism, its Program Announcement release date, and submission deadline are as follows: Exploration-Hypothesis Development Award, Exploration-Resource Development Award, Health Disparity Research-Prostate Scholar Award, Health Disparity Training-Prostate Scho lar Award, Idea Development Award, New Investigator Award, and Postdoctoral Traineeship Award were all released on 27 January 2003 with a submission deadline of April 16, 2003, 5:00 pm Eastern Time. Physician Research Training Award was released on 27 Jan uary 2003 with a submission deadline of June 18, 2003, 5:00 pm Eastern Time. Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Collaborative Partnership Award will be released in early February 2003 with a submission deadline of June 18, 2003, 5:00 pm Ea stern Time. The three new opportunities from the above mechanisms for prostate cancer research funding this year include: 1. Exploration-Hypothesis Development Awards are intended to support the initial exploration of innovative, untested, potentially grou ndbreaking concepts (with no preliminary data) in prostate cancer. Innovation is critical to this award and will be the major evaluation criteria., 2. Exploration-Resource Development Awards are intended to support product-driven research aimed at develop ing critical resources needed to advance the field of prostate cancer research. These resources may include, but are not limited to, development of animal models, cell lines, and reagents., 3. Physician Research Training Awards are intended to prepare phy sicians for careers in prostate cancer research through a mentored training experience. The PCRP electronic Program Announcements have been completely revised for FY03. Detailed descriptions of each of these funding mechanisms, evaluation criteria, and su bmission requirements can be found in the FY03 PCRP Program Announcement corresponding to that funding mechanism. Each Program Announcement can be downloaded from the CDMRP web site (http://cdmrp.army.mil). All applicants will be required to submit one e lectronic version of their proposal as a PDF (portable document format) file. All documents may be downloaded from the CDMRP website. The website also contains further information about the PCRP, PCRP awardees, previous PCRP Program Announcements, and othe r CDMRP-sponsored programs and events. Again the CDMRP web site is located at (http://cdmrp.army.mil). Questions related to the Program, proposal format or required documentation can be addressed to the CDMRP at 301-619-7079, Fax at 301-619-7792 or email a t cdmrp.pa@det.amedd.army.mil.
