DoD Prostate Cancer New Investigator Award: The PCRP New Investigator Award mechanism was introduced in FY99. Since then, 1,678 proposals have been received and 365 have been recommended for funding. The New Investigator Award supports independent PIs in the early stages of their careers. The PCRP seeks PIs who have innovative, high-impact ideas or new technologies applicable to prostate cancer research, prevention, detection, diagnosis, or treatment. The PCRP seeks proposals from all areas of basic, preclinical, behavioral, and epidemiological research. Clinical trials are not acceptable under this mechanism. PIs wishing to apply for funding for a clinical trial should utilize the Clinical Trial Award mechanism. Important aspects of the New Investigator Award are as follows: 1. Personnel: The PI and collaborator are emphasized in this award. The PIs record of accomplishment will be evaluated regarding his or her potential for contributing to the prostate cancer research field. The PI and collaborator together will be emphasized in peer review to determine whether their combined background and prostate cancer-related expertise demonstrate the ability to accomplish the proposed work. 2. Innovation: Innovative research may represent a new paradigm, challenge existing paradigms, or look at existing problems from new perspectives. It is the responsibility of the PI to clearly and explicitly articulate how the proposed research is innovative. Research that is an incremental advance upon published data is not considered innovative and will not be considered for funding under this mechanism. 3. Impact: Research that has high impact will, if successful, significantly advance current methods and concepts for the prevention, detection, diagnosis, or treatment of human prostate cancer. It is the responsibility of the PI to clearly and explicitly articulate the potential impact the proposed research will have on human prostate cancer. 4. Collaborator: Submission to this award mechanism requires a collaborator (or collaborators), appropriate to the proposal, who has experience in prostate cancer research, as demonstrated by a record of funding and publications in prostate cancer research. 5. Preliminary Data: To encourage submissions from PIs early in their careers, proposals are not required to have preliminary data. Although groundbreaking research often involves a degree of risk due to unforeseen difficulties or results, 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.
