MiamiOH OARS on 22 Mar 19The FY19 PRCRP Impact Award supports hypothesis-driven, high-impact research. The Impact Award mechanism encourages applications with mature research projects that specifically focus on critical scientific or clinical cancer issues, which, if successfully addressed, have the potential to make a major impact on at least one of the FY19 PRCRP Topic Areas. Important factors under consideration will be continuity of research, clinical applicability, and leveraging of clinical samples and trials. Through the Impact Award, the PRCRP seeks to build foundations for finding cures in under-funded, under-studied, and/or lethal militarily relevant cancer or research areas. With the Impact Award, PRCRP offers the unique opportunity to find commonalities in research across multiple cancers that advance the broader cancer field and to address cancer funding disparities within the FY19 PRCRP Topic Areas. The Impact Award supports identifying scientific outcomes through rigorous, robust research that are translatable toward treatment and/or preventive strategies. Research proposed should aim to accelerate promising findings toward clinical applicability and leverage research results to maximize impact.
