Description

The FY09 PRCRP Mentor-Predoctoral Fellow Research Award mechanism is designed topromote new ideas that are still in the early stages of development while training outstandingcandidates in the topic area of noninvasive cancer ablation treatment research including selectivetargeting with nanoparticles. The research should have the potential to yield highly impactfuldata and new avenues of investigation in the PRCRP topic area of noninvasive cancer ablationtreatment research including selective targeting with nanoparticles. No other topic areas will beallowed. Proposals must not address breast, prostate, or ovarian cancer research. Thismechanism supports conceptually innovative research that could ultimately lead to criticaldiscoveries or major advancements that will accelerate the field of noninvasive cancer ablationtreatment including selective targeting with nanoparticles. Research projects should include awell-formulated, testable hypothesis based on strong scientific rationale. Mentored training of anoutstanding Predoctoral fellow is an important aspect of this award, and inclusion of aPredoctoral Fellow is a requirement.Preliminary data are not required. However, research projects should include a wellformulated,testable hypothesis based on a strong scientific rationale.For FY09, the Mentor-Predoctoral Fellow Research Award will support applications thataddress one or more of the Focus Areas below. Applications to the FY09 PRCRP Mentor-Predoctoral Fellow Research Award will be rated on their responsiveness to these Focus Areas.Focus Areas: Development of approaches for deep organ access for ablation technologies Validation of nanoparticle targetingThe PRCRP Mentor-Predoctoral Fellow Research Award supports high-impact, innovativeresearch that will drive the field forward.
