Department of Defense (DOD) Fiscal Year 2006 (FY06) Prostate Cancer Research Program (PCRP) New Investigator Award: The intent of the PCRP New Investigator Award is to recognize and support independent investigators in the early stages of their careers. The PCRP seeks investigators who have innovative, high-impact ideas or new technologies applicable to prostate cancer research or treatment. New investigators are defined as being within 6 years of completing their last fellowship or postdoctoral position. Applicants may not have received non-mentored research funding in excess of $100,000 in direct costs in aggregate from extramural sources as a Principal Investigator (PI) or co-PI. Four important features of this award mechanism are: (1) innovation; (2) impact; (3) a requirement for a collaborator with experience in prostate cancer research; and (4) no requirement for preliminary data. 1. Innovation: Innovation is a significant feature of the New Investigator Award. Research deemed innovative may represent a new paradigm, challenge existing paradigms, or look at existing problems from new perspectives. It is the responsibility of the applicant to clearly and explicitly articulate how the proposed research is innovative. Proposals may be innovative in a variety of ways, including: Study concept - investigation of a novel idea and/or unique research question that has the potential to advance the field of prostate cancer research in a significant way. Research method or technology - use of novel research methods or new technologies to address a research question that could not be addressed using conventional methods/techniques. Clinical interventions - use of a novel method or technology for preventing, diagnosing, or treating prostate cancer. Adaptations of existing methods or technologies - application or adaptation of existing methods or technologies for research or clinical purposes that are fundamentally different from those originally intended, and/or for use in novel research or clinical purposes. This list is intended to serve as a foundation on which to frame and present the innovative features of the proposal. Conversely, examples of research that is not innovative and will not be considered for funding under this mechanism include: Exploring a hypothesis in a different cell line. Using a published series of in vitro assays to further characterize a model system. Incorporating known biomarkers into in vitro or clinical models of prostate cancer. 2. Impact: Research that has high impact may significantly advance current methods, concepts, prevention, diagnosis, or treatment of prostate cancer or quality of life for patients. It is the responsibility of the applicant to clearly and explicitly articulate the impact the proposed research may have on the field of prostate cancer research. 3. Collaborator: Submission to this award mechanism requires a collaborator (or collaborators) from an appropriate discipline (clinical research, pathology, urology, etc.) who has experience in prostate cancer research. He or she must have a demonstrated record of funding and publications in prostate cancer research. 4. Preliminary Data: In accordance with the challenge to be innovative and capture novel ideas in their early stages of development, proposals are not required to have preliminary data. Although this research is inherently risky, these proposals should be based on a sound scientific rationale that is established through logical reasoning and/or critical review and analysis of the literature.
