Description:

The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation is pleased to announce the launch of a new National Research Grant Competition on the Earlier Detection of Breast Cancer. Molecular detection and the use of biomarkers, new targeted probes, and new imaging modalities are just a few of the technological areas that research suggests could be promising avenues to enable earlier detection of breast cancer. More research is needed on how to apply and interpret new technologies to improve accuracy and the precision of diagnosis.

The competition is an open call for project proposals for research that will focus on at least one of the following three sub-priority areas: Advancing technology that has strategic potential to enable the first detection of breast cancer at its earliest stages (primary malignant transformation); Using or screening existing sample or population resources that are relevant to the discovery and/or validation of markers; or Understanding the psychosocial ramifications of introducing new early detection technology into practice and the implications for technology adoption strategies.
