PCF-Pfizer Visiting Professorship Program 2026 supports community-based urology and medical oncology practices in the United States seeking to improve the use of germline and somatic testing for patients with prostate cancer. The program combines targeted medical education with a practical, site-specific improvement project designed to strengthen guideline-concordant precision medicine in community practice.
Selected organizations will work with one or two Visiting Professors matched to their educational and clinical needs, host a 2.5-to-3-hour educational program, and implement a practice-level project addressing identified gaps in testing and care. Approximately 5–7 organizations are expected to receive grants of up to $50,000 each.
