Grant Description: The PCRP Postdoctoral Training Award mechanism was first offered as the Postdoctoral Traineeship Award in FY99 and was incorporated into the Prostate Cancer Training Award in FY06-FY10. In total, 1,060 Postdoctoral Training Award applications have been received, and 367 have been recommended for funding. The Postdoctoral Training Award supports training opportunities focused on prostate cancer research for recent doctoral graduates. These awards primarily provide salary support for the Principal Investigator (PI); the postdoctoral trainee is considered the PI of the proposal. The PI must exhibit strong potential for, and commitment to, pursuing a career as an investigator at the forefront of prostate cancer research; however, the PI is not required to have previous prostate cancer research experience. Applications must include at least one mentor, appropriate to the proposed training and research project, who has experience in prostate cancer research as demonstrated by a record of funding and publications. The selected mentor(s) should demonstrate a clear commitment to the PIs training and be well qualified to significantly contribute to the development of the PI toward a career in prostate cancer research. The PI must outline an individualized, prostate cancer-focused training program which may include coursework, laboratory techniques, conferences, seminars, journal clubs, teaching responsibilities, and/or clinical responsibilities that will provide the PI with experience in key areas relevant to the proposed work and foster the PIs development as a prostate cancer researcher. An environment appropriate to the proposed training and research project must be clearly described. All applications for the Postdoctoral Training Award are to be written by the PI, with appropriate direction from the mentor(s). The PCRP seeks applications from the wide spectrum of basic to clinical research. In addition, applications 1) should be relevant to at least one of the PCRP focus areas and 2) are encouraged, although not required, to be responsive to one of the PCRP overarching challenges. C. Eligibility Information The PI must: o Have successfully defended a doctoral thesis or possess an M.D. degree by October 1, 2011 and o Must have 3 years or less of postdoctoral fellowship experience by October 1, 2011. Cost sharing/matching is not an eligibility requirement. Refer to the General Application Instructions, Appendix 1, for general eligibility information.
