Grant Description: The PCRP Synergistic Idea Development Award mechanism was first offered in FY07. Since then, 260 research projects have been proposed and 26 (representing 57 individual awards) have been recommended for funding. The Synergistic Idea Development Award supports new ideas that represent innovative approaches to prostate cancer research involving two or three independent, faculty-level (or equivalent) Principal Investigators (PIs). These investigators should use complementary and synergistic perspectives to address a central problem or question in prostate cancer research. This award is designed to encourage and support both new and pre-existing partnerships. The overall goal of this award is to significantly accelerate advances in prostate cancer research to support the PCRP vision of conquering prostate cancer. Although groundbreaking research often involves a degree of risk, applications should be based on a sound scientific rationale that is established through logical reasoning and/or critical review and analysis of the literature. Due to this awards emphasis on innovation, presentation of preliminary data relevant to prostate cancer and the proposed project is encouraged but not required. Any preliminary data provided should be from the laboratories of the PIs or member(s) of the collaborating team. All applications for the Synergistic Idea Development Award are highly recommended to address one of the FY11 PCRP overarching challenges. The PCRP seeks to fund projects from the wide spectrum of basic to clinical research; however, if the proposed project does not address one of the overarching challenges, the application should provide a description to justify how the project will nevertheless address a critical need in the field of prostate cancer research and/or patient care. The Synergistic Idea Development Award requires that multiple investigators jointly design a single project. However, each partner will be recognized as a PI, submit a separate application, and receive an individual award. The research project must be supported by the unique expertise, experience, and abilities of each PI, and it must clearly define the synergistic components that will facilitate and accelerate progress in a way that could not be accomplished through independent efforts. Multidisciplinary projects are encouraged, and multi-institutional projects are allowed. Each proposed study must include clearly stated plans for interactions among all PIs and institutions involved. The plans must include communication, coordination of research progress and results, and data transfer. Additionally, multi-institutional applications must provide an intellectual property plan to resolve potential intellectual and material property issues, and to remove institutional barriers that might interfere with achieving high levels of cooperation to ensure the successful completion of this award. PIs wishing to apply for funding for population-based studies should consider submitting an application for the FY11 PCRP Population-Based Research Award. Research involving human subject use is permitted under this funding opportunity, but is restricted to studies without clinical trials. A clinical trial is defined as a prospective accrual of human subjects where an intervention (e.g., device, drug, biologic, surgical procedure, rehabilitative modality, behavioral intervention or other) is tested on a human subject for a measurable outcome with respect to exploratory information, safety, effectiveness and/or efficacy. This outcome represents a direct effect on the human subject of that intervention or interaction. For more information on clinical research, a Human Subject Resource Document is provided at https://cdmrp.org/Program_Announcements_and_Forms/. PIs seeking funding for a clinical trial should consider submitting an application for the FY11 PCRP Clinical Trial Award.
