The Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF) is expanding its efforts to encourage innovation in prostate cancer research. Its 2012 Young Investigator Awards have already funded 15 research grants internationally in the attempt to attract best innovations in the field. Each award recipient receives $225,000 during a 3-year period. In addition, each recipient institution matches the funding dollar for dollar, bringing each award to a total of $450,000 for every recipient. "PCF-supported young investigators have changed the scope of prostate cancer research, advancing treatment sciences and improving the lives of patients worldwide," said Howard Soule, PhD, Chief Science Officer and Executive Vice President, PCF.
