The FY26 Prostate Cancer Data Science Award funds research that uses data science, analytics, AI, machine learning, bioinformatics, computational biology, epidemiology, digital pathology, medical imaging, or other quantitative methods to analyze large or complex prostate cancer data. Eligible applicants include U.S. Department of War extramural and intramural organizations, including foreign and domestic, for-profit and nonprofit, and public or private entities; the principal investigator must be affiliated with an eligible organization. The program expects about $5.6 million total to fund about 4 awards, with a maximum total cost of $1.4 million per award and a 3-year maximum period of performance. Cost sharing is not required, clinical trials and animal research are not allowed, and the award cannot support prospective recruitment of human subjects or the development of new datasets.
What it funds
Official description from grants.gov
Summary: The fiscal year 2026 (FY26) Prostate Cancer Research Program (PCRP) Data Science Award (DSA) supports research that develops or uses quantitative and analytical approaches, processes and/or systems to obtain knowledge and insight from large and/or complex sets of prostate cancer data in one or more of the following research areas: Analysis of clinically annotated datasets; analysis of -omics data; artificial intelligence and machine learning; bioinformatics; computational biology; digital pathology; epidemiology; and medical imaging. All applications must address one of the FY26 PCRP Overarching Challenges . Distinctive Features: This funding mechanism allows for multiple Principal Investigators (PIs). Only the initiating PI will submit a pre-application, but all PIs will need to submit full applications. The partnering PI application is an abbreviated package specific to their distinct portion of the research project. Be advised, all associated applications for a research project may be withdrawn if the initiating or partnering application is rejected or administratively withdrawn.
