DOD FY11 Breast Cancer Research Program Impact Award

archived

The FY 11 Breast Cancer Research Program (BCRP) Impact Award supports unique research projects or ideas (from small- to large-scale) that specifically focus on scientific and clinical breast cancer issues, which, if successfully addressed, could ultimately revolutionize the understanding, prevention, and/or treatment of breast cancer and make major advances towards the goal of eradicating the disease. The BCRP particularly encourages applications that focus on poorly understood issues that are of critical significance in breast cancer, such as those related to susceptibility, recurrence, or metastasis. The proposed work must be based on sound overall research and fully supported by preliminary data and/or published reports. The most important aspect of the Impact Award is the potential of the proposed research to have a radical, revolutionary impact on an area of paramount importance in breast cancer. The research project may be from any discipline or combination of disciplines, including basic, translational, clinical (clinical trials are allowed), behavioral, and/or epidemiological research. The potential impact may be near-term or long-term, but it must be significant and non-incremental.
