Research proposals in the following topic areas are preferred:
- Immunotherapy for the treatment of metastatic, lethal prostate cancer.
- Targeted radionuclide therapy for advanced prostate cancer.
- New systemic precision treatments for metastatic, lethal prostate cancer including those targeting the currently ‘undruggable’.
- First-in-field research on new targets for systemic treatment of metastatic, lethal prostate cancer.
- Mechanisms of resistance to current and investigational drugs targeting the androgen receptor and androgen axis, immune system, chemotherapy, and other targeted agents.
- Correlative research around either clinical trials of novel agents or strategies or standard of care.
- Determinants of survivorship that will improve the lives of patients with metastatic prostate cancer.
- Developing or validating biomarkers that guide therapy in patients or further our understanding of the mechanisms by which therapies work.
- Tumor microenvironment signaling related to cancer progression including the immune component.
- New data science technologies for analysis of genomic information to advance precision medicine.
- Research proposals that identify or intervene in biological determinants, health care access policies, or other causes of prostate cancer incidence and mortality disparity are highly encouraged.
