DOD Peer Reviewed Cancer Concept Award

archived

The Peer Review Cancer Research Program (PRCRP) Concept Award supports the exploration of a highly innovative new concept or untested theory addressing at least one of the FY10 PRCRP Topic Areas. No other Topic Areas will be allowed. The Concept Award supports high-risk studies that have the potential to reveal entirely new avenues for investigation. It is not intended to support a logical progression of an already established research project. Presentation of preliminary data is not allowed. However, a rationale for the work must be provided. Research completed through a Concept Award may generate the data needed to enable the Principal Investigator (PI) to apply for other funding opportunities requiring preliminary data. FY10 PRCRP funds appropriated by Congress are directed for research in the following areas:• Melanoma and other skin cancers;• Pediatric brain tumors;• Genetic cancer research and genomic medicine;• Kidney cancer;• Blood cancers;• Colorectal cancer;• Listeria vaccine for cancer;• Radiation protection utilizing nanotechnology.Applications must not propose breast, prostate, lung, or ovarian cancer research.
