CCR Grants provide unique opportunities for scientists who have held faculty positions for no more than 5 years at the time of full application to achieve research independence. CCR grants provide support for hypothesis-driven research projects that have significant potential to advance our understanding of breast cancer, lead to reductions in breast cancer incidence and/or mortality, and move us toward the goal of a world without breast cancer.

A separate CCR RFA is available for either Basic and Translation Research or Clinical Research. The Basic and Translational mechanism is appropriate for research projects that are laboratory or field based. The Clinical mechanism is appropriate for clinical, patient-oriented research project that involve direct interactions with human subjects/patients. Please see the sponsor website for the appropriate RFA.
