DoD Peer Reviewed, Idea Award: The FY22 PRCRP Idea Award supports innovative, untested, high-risk/potentially high-reward concepts, theories, paradigms, and/or methods in cancer research that are relevant to active-duty Service Members, Veterans, other military beneficiaries, and the American public. Cancers or circumstances with cancer risk that may affect the Service Members' support system (military families) are of special importance. The advancement of knowledge in cancer research, patient care, and/or treatment options in the Military Health System (MHS) is critical to active-duty Service Members, Veterans, other military beneficiaries, and the American public. The intention of the Idea Award is innovative research that may introduce a new paradigm, challenge existing paradigms, look at existing problems from new perspectives, or exhibit other highly creative qualities. The Idea Award is not intended to support a logical progression of an already established research project in a laboratory. Incremental advances, the next logical step, or switching a model system from one cancer to another cancer are not considered innovative. The proposed research project should include a well-formulated, testable hypothesis based on strong scientific rationale and study design. It is the responsibility of the Principal Investigator (PI) to select the funding opportunity that is most appropriate for the research proposed. Advanced research with robust preliminary data is more appropriate for the FY22 PRCRP Impact Award (W81XWH-22-PRCRP-IPA).
