Clinical Consortium Award
Amount of funding: Total costs budgeted for the entire period of performance will not exceed $10.5M (Coordinating Center) or $2.0M (Clinical Reseach Sites).
Purpose: The FY25 PCRP Clinical Consortium Award provides the support to develop and enhance collaborations and resources necessary for a network of organizations to rapidly execute phase 2 or phase 2-linked phase 1 (phase 1/2) prostate cancer clinical trials.

Support from this award is directed toward consortium infrastructure needs rather than direct support of the research itself.
