Objectiu de la convocatòria
The Prostate Cancer Foundation (www.pcf.org) 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.
Research proposals submitted in consideration for the Young Investigator 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.
Característiques principals
The award funds may be used flexibly to advance the career and research efforts of the awardee. This for example, includes funding “protected time” or direct costs for laboratory science.
Applications are encouraged 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, or clinical research and need not be trained specifically in prostate cancer science. However, successful applicants should be working in a research environment capable of supporting transformational prostate cancer research. Access to and interaction with a clinical environment and translational prostate cancer physician-scientists is highly desired.
