Objectiu de la convocatòria
3 years funding for young investigators in the field of prostate cancer, especially on prostate cancer health disparities.
Característiques principals
Funds may be used innovatively and flexibly to advance the career and research efforts of the awardee (for example, funding “protected time” or direct costs for laboratory science). Every PCF Young Investigator is required to be under the direct supervision of 1-3 mentors.
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. However, successful applicants should be working in an academic research environment capable of supporting transformational prostate cancer research. Access to and real-time interaction with a clinical environment and translational prostate cancer physician-scientists is highly desired.
