The Department of Defense’s Peer Reviewed Cancer Research Program (PRCRP) Discovery Award seeks to fund groundbreaking, high-risk/high-reward cancer research projects. Projects should introduce novel theories and methods, backed by strong scientific rationale, to lay the foundation for future investigations. Applications must focus on innovative approaches to tackle blood cancers, colorectal cancer, genetic cancer, kidney cancer, melanoma, and more. Incremental advances will not be funded. The closing date for applications is October 27, 2011.

| Description:: | The intent of the Peer Reviewed Cancer Research Program (PRCRP) Discovery Award is to support innovative, untested, high-risk/potentially high-reward concepts, theories, paradigms, and/or methods. Studies supported by this award are expected to develop robust preliminary data that will lay the groundwork for future avenues of scientific investigation. The proposed research project should include a well-formulated, testable hypothesis based on strong scientific rationale and study design. The Discovery Award is not intended to support a logical progression of an already established research project. The proposed research project should be novel and innovative. Innovative research may introduce a new paradigm, challenge existing paradigms, look at existing problems from new perspectives, or exhibit other uniquely creative qualities. Research that is an incremental advance upon published data is not considered innovative and will not be considered for funding under this award mechanism. All applications must address research in one or more of the required FY11 PRCRP Topic Areas: blood cancers, colorectal cancer, genetic cancer, kidney cancer, listeria vaccine for cancer, melanoma and other skin cancers, mesothelioma, pancreatic cancer, pediatric cancers, and radiation protection utilizing nanotechnology. |
