Description

Summary: The fiscal year 2025 (FY25) Peer Reviewed Cancer Research Program (PRCRP) Career Development Award – Scholar Option (CDA-SO) supports an independent, highly accomplished early-career investigator (referred to as a Scholar) to conduct impactful research under the guidance of an experienced cancer researcher (i.e., Career Guide). Under this award mechanism, the early-career investigator is considered the Principal Investigator (PI), and the application should focus on the PI’s research and career development.Distinctive Features: The Scholar must designate a Career Guide. The Career Guide can only be a mentor to one CDA-SO applicant and must be willing to commit to participation in the Virtual Cancer Center. Scholars are required to participate in the unique, interactive Virtual Cancer Center (VCC) focused on fostering the next generation of cancer researchers.Funding Details: (New for FY25) Funding limits are now listed as total cost limits, which is the combination of both direct and indirect costs.
