This grant is for supporting innovative and collaborative research aimed at significantly accelerating advances in prostate cancer. The Department of Defense (DoD) Prostate Cancer Research Program (PCRP) invites proposals from two or three independent, faculty-level Principal Investigators (PIs) who will use complementary and synergistic approaches to address a central problem. The award emphasizes groundbreaking ideas that challenge existing paradigms or offer new perspectives, rather than incremental advances. Projects can span basic, population-based, translational, and clinical research, and must align with PCRP focus areas or overarching challenges. Successful applications will demonstrate strong intellectual input from all PIs and include clear plans for collaboration and data sharing, especially for multi-institutional efforts.

| Description: | The PCRP Synergistic Idea Development Award mechanism was first offered in FY07. Since then, 389 research projects have been proposed and 41 (representing 92 individual awards) have been recommended for funding. The Synergistic Idea Development Award supports new ideas that represent innovative approaches to prostate cancer research involving two or three independent, faculty-level (or equivalent) Principal Investigators (PIs). These investigators should use complementary and synergistic perspectives to address a central problem or question in prostate cancer research. This award is designed to support both new and pre-existing partnerships. The overall goal of this award is to significantly accelerate advances in prostate cancer research to support the PCRP vision of conquering prostate cancer. Although groundbreaking research often involves a degree of risk, applications should be based on a sound scientific rationale that is established through logical reasoning and/or critical review and analysis of the literature. Due to this awards emphasis on innovation, presentation of preliminary data relevant to prostate cancer and the proposed project is encouraged but not required. Research deemed innovative may represent a new paradigm, challenge current paradigms, look at existing problems from new perspectives, or exhibit other highly creative qualities. Research that is an incremental advance upon published data is not considered innovative. The PCRP seeks applications from the wide spectrum of basic, population-based, translational, and clinical research. In addition, applicants are expected to address at least one of the PCRP focus areas and are highly encouraged to address one of the PCRP overarching challenges. If the proposed project does not address any of the overarching challenges, the application should include a description to justify how the project will nevertheless address a critical need in the field of prostate cancer research and/or patient care. The Synergistic Idea Development Award requires that multiple investigators jointly design a single project, with comparable levels of intellectual input from each PI. However, each partner will be recognized as a PI, submit a separate application, and receive an individual award. The research project must be supported by the unique expertise, experience, and abilities of each PI, and it must clearly define the synergistic components that will facilitate and accelerate progress in a way that could not be accomplished through independent efforts. Multidisciplinary projects are encouraged, and multi-institutional projects are allowed. Each proposed study must include clearly stated plans for interactions among all PIs and institutions involved. The plans must include communication, coordination of research progress and results, and data transfer. Additionally, multi-institutional applications must provide an intellectual property plan to resolve potential intellectual and material property issues and to remove institutional barriers that might interfere with achieving high levels of cooperation to ensure the successful completion of this award. |
