FY16 PRCRP Military Relevance Focus Areas
♦ Identification of militarily relevant risk factors associated with
cancer (e.g., ionizing radiation, chemicals, infectious agents, and
environmental carcinogens)
♦ Unmet gaps in cancer care spectrum (prevention, early detection,
diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and/or survivorship) that impact
the health and well-being of Service Members, Veterans, and their
beneficiaries
Applications that address exposures, conditions, or circumstances
that are unique to the military, or disproportionately represented in a
military beneficiary population, are the highest priority.
