Request for Applications: 2014 Prostate Cancer Foundation Global Treatment Sciences Challenge Award for Lethal Prostate Cancer

Request for Applications: 2014 Prostate Cancer Foundation Global Treatment Sciences Challenge Award for Lethal Prostate Cancer Deadline: September 22, 2014 The Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF) is pleased to announce a Request for Applications for lethal prostate cancer. Approximately 5-10 GTSN Challenge Awards will be funded depending on level of innovation in applications received. High risk, first-in-field and currently unfunded projects are most desired. PCF Challenge Awards support large-scale team science research projects concerning lethal prostate cancer over the duration of 2-3 years, provide up to a total of $1,000,000 per team and cover direct research costs only. This award will support the correlative research around either clinical trials of novel agents or strategies of standard of care. One emphasis is on developing or validating biomarkers that guide therapy in patients or further our understanding of the mechanism by which therapies work. While the focus is on research in humans, the actual trials or treatments themselves will not be supported. Human samples are highly preferred, although at times, model systems might be required to complement the understanding of an important mechanism. The online application submission form will go live at www.pcfscience.org after July 22, 2014. Submit online application at www.pcfscience.org
