THE NCRI’s SOUTH OF ENGLAND PROSTATE CANCER RESEARCH COLLABORATIVE CALL FOR PROPOSALS The National Cancer Research Institute’s (NCRI’s) South of England Prostate Cancer Research Collaborative is inviting bids for pilot and development awards. The aim of the Collaborative, which is jointly funded by the MRC, Cancer Research UK and Department of Health, is to set up research in three broad translational research areas: (A) Molecular Pathology of Prostate Cancer; (B) Novel Therapies for Prostate Cancer; and (C) Aetiology of Prostate Cancer. Successful applications would be expected, where appropriate, to link to these initiatives and direct their research towards the overall aims of improving the treatment of this disease and increasing the understanding of its mechanism of development. The awards are designed to pump prime pilot and development research projects and will provide funds up to a maximum of £40,000 to fund research for a 1-year period. Further information and application forms can be obtained from our Website (http://www.icr.ac.uk/ncri), Christine Bell ([email protected]) or by writing to the Collaborative Office c/o Christine Bell, Male Urological Cancer Research Centre, 15 Cotswold Road, Sutton, Surrey SM2 5NG, UK. The deadline for applications is 5.00pm on Friday, 18th June 2004. Projects that currently form part of the Collaborative are as follows:A.
