Description: |
We fund innovative, high-potential pilot studies that could significantly advance the field. Since the Foundation's inception this program has funded many novel ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer and has provided support for operating expenses. The Principal Investigator must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada based in, or formally affiliated with an eligible host organization (university, college, hospital, research institute or other qualified not-for-profit organization). The Foundation expects applicants to prepare competitive funding proposals that meet program criteria, are clear and complete in all respects and free of error. The same meticulous attention to detail that is required for preparation of a scientific paper for publication should guide applicant in the preparation of their proposal to the Foundation. NEW: This year PCC will be reviewing Established Investigators (those with more than 8 years of research experience within a faculty position) separately from New Investigators (those with up to 8 years of experience within a faculty position) |
