The PRCRP Idea Award is intended to promote the exploration of ideas that are still in the earlystages of development yet have the potential to yield high-impact results and open new avenuesof investigation in genetic cancer research and its relation to exposure to the variousenvironments that are unique to a military lifestyle. This mechanism supports conceptuallyinnovative, high-risk/high-reward research that could ultimately lead to critical discoveries ormajor advancements. No other topic areas will be allowed. Proposals must not address breast,prostate, or ovarian cancer research.Preliminary data are not required. However, research projects should include a wellformulated,testable hypothesis based on a strong scientific rationale.For FY09, the PRCRP Idea Award will support applications that address one or more of theFocus Areas below.
