The Department of Defense’s Prostate Cancer Research Program (PCRP) offers the Physician Research Training Award. This grant supports a mentored training experience, preparing physicians with clinical duties for productive careers in prostate cancer research. Physicians, as Principal Investigators, must commit to a research career, designing a robust, prostate cancer-focused training program with an established mentor. The award provides at least 40% protected research time for the PI, and funds for support personnel salaries (up to 50%) and research supplies/equipment (up to $10,000 annually). Projects should cover basic to clinical research relevant to PCRP focus areas. Training can include clinical trial participation, but direct funding for trials is excluded.

| Description: | The PCRP Physician Research Training Award mechanism was first offered in FY03. Since then, 113 Physician Research Training Award applications have been received, and 54 have been recommended for funding. The Physician Research Training Award supports a mentored training experience to prepare physicians with clinical duties and/or responsibilities for productive careers in prostate cancer research. The trainee is considered the Principal Investigator (PI) of the proposal. The PI must demonstrate a commitment to a career as an investigator at the forefront of prostate cancer research and clinical practice; however, the PI is not required to have previous prostate cancer research experience. Applications must include a robust description of an individualized, prostate cancer-focused training program that will provide the PI with experience in key areas relevant to the proposed work and foster the PI�s development as a prostate cancer researcher. This award requires the involvement of at least one designated mentor with an established research program in prostate cancer, evidenced by publications and funding. The PI and mentor(s) should work together to design a robust training program appropriate to the area of study, which may include coursework, laboratory techniques, conferences, seminars, journal clubs, teaching responsibilities, and/or clinical responsibilities This award is intended to provide aggressive protection of at least 40% of the PI�s time for research. In addition, salary for up to a 50% combined level of effort from one to two key support personnel may be provided by this award. Up to $10,000 in funds per year from this award may be used for research supplies and equipment. These funds may be used for research with laboratory animals and human biological substances, as well as research with human subjects, provided that the funds are not used to support clinical trials. PIs may participate in clinical trials as part of their training for this award, but funding for the clinical trials must come from a source other than this award. All applications for the Physician Research Training Award are to be written by the PI, with appropriate direction from the mentor(s). The PCRP seeks Physician Research Training Award applications from the wide spectrum of basic to clinical research. In addition, applications (1) should be relevant to at least one of the PCRP focus areas and (2) are encouraged, although not required, to be responsive to one of the PCRP overarching challenges. |
