PCF Challenge Awards

Prostate Cancer Foundation

The Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF) is pleased to announce a Request for Team Science Applications for PCF Challenge Awards for investigations of metastatic, lethal prostate cancer. These awards will be funded depending on the level of innovation in applications received. PCF seeks high-risk, currently unfunded projects from academic institutions around the world.

PCF Challenge Awards:

• Composed of a team of at least three (3) investigators from non-profit academic research centers, including one young investigator (see PCF Challenge Award Team requirements below).

• Support large-scale research projects concerning metastatic, lethal prostate cancer over a duration of two years.

• Provide up to a total of $1 million per team.

• Cover only direct research costs and travel to the Annual PCF Scientific Retreat.

• Clinical trial direct costs are not allowed; however, correlative research to support high impact clinical trials for advanced prostate cancer is encouraged. IRB submission and preferably approval is desired at time ofapplication.

• All studies involving patients must include plans for including diverse participant populations with appropriate representation of ethnic and racial minority groups. Comprehensive statistical plans and power calculations are required.

Research proposals in the following topic areas are solicited:

• Theranostics.

• Drugging currently undruggable oncology targets: preventing progression to lethal disease.

• Improved biotechnologies for precision medicine.

• First-in-field immunotherapies for prostate cancer.

• Artificial intelligence/machine learning to better inform patient outcomes.

• Host microbiome and tumor metabolism.

The PCF Challenge Award Team:

• Should be composed of at least 3 investigators capable of providing unique scientific expertise to the solution of this significant problem in prostate cancer research.

• May be assembled from one institution, or several institutions.

• Must embed at least one young investigator as an integral contributor to the team. The young investigator may hold the title of Postdoctoral Fellow, Instructor, Research Associate, Assistant Professor, or equivalent and must be within six- years following completion of a professional degree (MD, DO, PhD, MD-PhD, DSc, ScD, DDM, DDS, DMD, MBBS, or equivalent) or subsequent mentored academic or clinical training program, such as a postdoctoral or clinical fellowship. He or she should not have been granted commitments for more than $2,000,000 in direct research funding from all sources including institutional funds at the time of this application.

• Applicants who are under-represented in biomedical research are highly encouraged to apply.

• In order to improve the health and wellness of our treasured US military veterans, applicants with Veterans Administration (VA) appointments are highly encouraged to apply. Projects that involve a VA Medical Center in their research proposal planning will be appreciated.
