DOD Peer Reviewed Cancer Translational New Investigator Award

The PRCRP Translational New Investigator Award mechanism is being offered for the first time in FY10. The Translational New Investigator Award supports the development of translational research partnerships among two independent investigators to address at least one of the FY10 PRCRP Topic Areas in a manner relevant to military beneficiaries. Within the partnership, one member must be a laboratory scientist and the other must be a clinician. This award is intended to support a mentoring partnership between a new investigator (the Principal Investigator [PI]) and a mentor (a clinician or laboratory scientist with an established research program in one of the FY10 PRCRP Topic Areas). The ultimate goal of translational research is to move an observation forward into a clinical application. Research does not have to be performed in the clinic but should include human anatomical substances. The Translational New Investigator Award supports preclinical studies in animal models and/or human anatomical substances that have clear potential for translation into clinical applications.
