The FY20 PCRP Population Science and Outcomes Research Award mechanism supports population-focused
studies that will, if successful, identify and understand predictors of lethal prostate cancer or
improved survivorship within the context of the FY20 PCRP Overarching Challenges. As such,
applications are required to address and provide a solution to one or more of the FY20 PCRP
Overarching Challenges. The potential impact of the research, both short- term and long-term, in
addressing the FY20 PCRP Overarching Challenge(s) should be clearly described.
The overall goal of this award is to generate data and/or tools that can only be achieved from the
perspective of systematic studies focused on specific populations of individuals. Research ideas
may include, but are not limited to, biomarkers for lethal disease, genetics/genomics, predictors
of response or resistance to therapy, survivorship, and health disparity. Such studies will be
built upon the logic, concepts, and methods of one or more population sciences including but not
limited to:
• Epidemiology
• Surveillance
• Health services research
• Outcomes research
• Behavioral science
• Social science
• Dissemination research
