Description
The PCRP Health Disparity Research Award mechanism was introduced in FY01. Since then, 142 applications have been received and 39 have been recommended for funding. The PCRP seeks applications from all areas of basic, preclinical, behavioral, and epidemiological research, that are responsive to one or more of the FY09 PCRP focus areas. NEW FOR FY09: PIs wishing to apply for funding for population-based studies should consider submitting an application for the Population-based Idea Development Award. The Health Disparity Research Award reflects the PCRPs commitment to resolving disparities in prostate cancer incidence, morbidity, and mortality by funding health disparity-focused projects by investigators at multiple points in their careers: Transitioning Investigators: Mentored investigators preparing for their first independent faculty position and their own research programs. Early-Career Investigators: Independent investigators in the early stages of their careers. Established Investigators: Independent investigators at or above the level of Assistant Professor or equivalent.Appropriate disparity areas include, but are not limited to: Race and ethnicity, Socioeconomic status, Access to health care, Insurance status, Age, Geography, and Cultural beliefs.PIs who do not have either experience in prostate cancer research or a connection to, or effectiveness in working with, an affected population or community are strongly encouraged to include a collaborator (or collaborators) with the appropriate prostate cancer or health disparity research experience. Such experience may include: Being a member of the affected population or community with a demonstrated commitment to the affected population or community; Having experience working with the affected population or community; or Having interactions with or an active membership in organizations such as the Urban League, National Medical Association, National Alliance for Hispanic Health, American Indian Health Care Association, National Rural Health Association, Patient Advocate Foundation National African American Outreach Program, or Prostate Health Education Network (PHEN).FY09 DOD Prostate Cancer Health Disparity Research Award 4The proposal must explicitly state how the proposed research is related to a health disparity area in prostate cancer. NOTE: Clinical trials are not allowed under this mechanism. Refer to the Application Instructions and General Information, Appendix 6, for helpful information about distinguishing clinical trials and clinical research.
