PCFA Ignite Synergy Grant

EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST ARE NOW OPEN 

PCFA is delighted to announce the launch of a new three-year $4.5 million Priority Impact Research Award, the Ignite Synergy Grant (PIRA-ISG).

The grant aims to ignite prostate cancer discoveries in Australia while empowering the country’s next generation of research leaders, supporting high-impact scientific advancement with the potential for near-term clinical translation.

The initiative will bring together leading scientists, clinicians, and institutions in a coordinated effort to accelerate progress against prostate cancer.

This competitive grant will be funded by PCFA’s Future Fund, which was established in 2022 to accelerate our work towards zero deaths from prostate cancer in our lifetime.

Interested parties are now invited to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) by the deadline of 5pm Friday August 8, 2025.

EOIs will be assessed by an international independent Expert Review Panel. Shortlisted applicants will then be invited to develop and submit a full research proposal in accord with the timeline provided below.

For more information on the grant criteria and EOI submission process, please refer to the supporting documentation and guidelines below:
