Description: |
The BCRP challenges the scientific community to design innovative research that will foster new directions for, address neglected issues in, and bring new investigators to the field of breast cancer research. The Postdoctoral Fellowship Award supports exceptionally talented recent medical or other doctoral graduates in their pursuit of innovative, high-impact breast cancer research during their postdoctoral training and allows them to obtain the necessary experience for an independent career at the forefront of breast cancer research. Candidates for this award should exhibit a strong desire to pursue a career in breast cancer research.
Under this award mechanism, the postdoctoral trainee is considered the Principal Investigator (PI) and, as such, should write the project narrative with appropriate direction from the mentor. While the PI is not required to have previous experience in breast cancer research, this proposal must focus on breast cancer research. Proposals must provide evidence of the PI?s potential for success in becoming an independent breast cancer researcher based on his/her qualifications, characteristics, achievements, and letters of recommendations. The mentor (or co-mentor, if applicable) must possess the appropriate expertise and experience in breast cancer, to include peer reviewed breast cancer funding and publications, and clearly demonstrate a commitment to guiding the PI?s research and training. |

The PI must successfully complete the requirements for a doctoral or medical degree by the time of award notification. Proposals must provide details on the suitability of the PI's overall training plan and research project for attaining the goals of this mechanism. In addition, proposals must elaborate on the training environment in which the candidate will work and how it will facilitate the candidate's career development as an independent breast cancer researcher. Proposals with a multidisciplinary research approach to breast cancer are highly encouraged but not required.
Pre-application submission is the required first step. Only those who have completed this step will be invited to submit a full proposal.
