It is not intended to support a logical progression of an already established research project. Presentation of preliminary data is not allowed. However, a rationale for the work must be provided. Research completed through a Concept Award may generate the data needed to enable the Principal Investigator (PI) to apply for other funding opportunities requiring preliminary data. FY10 PRCRP funds appropriated by Congress are directed for research in the following areas:• Melanoma and other skin cancers;• Pediatric brain tumors;• Genetic cancer research and genomic medicine;• Kidney cancer;• Blood cancers;• Colorectal cancer;• Listeria vaccine for cancer;• Radiation protection utilizing nanotechnology.Applications must not propose breast, prostate, lung, or ovarian cancer research.
