The Department of Defense’s Prostate Cancer Research Program (PCRP) offers the Exploration – Hypothesis Development Award. This grant supports the investigation of highly innovative, untested, high-risk/high-gain concepts, theories, and methods crucial for addressing significant problems in prostate cancer research. Its primary purpose is to provide the scientific rationale needed to formulate new hypotheses or demonstrate initial proof-of-principle for innovative ideas. This opportunity is designed for investigators to explore serendipitous observations, potentially revealing entirely new avenues for research. Applicants must provide logical reasoning and a sound scientific rationale, as preliminary data is not permitted. Studies involving human subjects or specimens are strictly limited to those qualifying for exempt or expedited review status. This DoD grant is for advancing groundbreaking, early-stage prostate cancer research.

| Description: | The PCRP Exploration Hypothesis Development Award was introduced in FY03. Since then, 665 applications have been received, and 115 have been recommended for funding. The Exploration Hypothesis Development Award supports the exploration of highly innovative, untested, high-risk/high-gain concepts, theories, paradigms, and/or methods that address an important problem in prostate cancer. Results of studies conducted through this award may provide the scientific rationale upon which a new hypothesis can be based, or initial proof-of-principle of an innovative hypothesis. This award is designed to provide investigators the opportunity to pursue serendipitous observations that may reveal entirely new avenues for investigation. Presentation of preliminary data is not allowed. However, logical reasoning and a sound scientific rationale for the proposed work must be provided. Because these awards are designed for preliminary investigations, projects involving human subjects or specimens will not be supported unless they are exempt under 32 CFR 219.101(b) or eligible for expedited review (32 CFR 219.110 or 21 CFR 56.110). Additional information on the protection of human subjects and exempt or expedited review status may be found at https://www.bids.tswg.gov/TSWG/bids.nsf/5DD5E2BA50F02C18852572B1005F5B8B/$file/Title_32_CFR_Part_219.pdf). Applications proposing studies that do not qualify for exempt or expedited review status will be administratively withdrawn. |
