Description:

Career Catalyst Research (CCR) grants seek to provide unique opportunities for scientists in the early stages of their career to further their research independence by providing support for research exploring important issues and novel approaches that will lead to substantial progress in breast cancer research and reductions in breast cancer incidence and/or mortality within the next decade.

All proposed research must have significant potential to lead to reductions in breast cancer incidence and/or mortality within the next decade. Proposed research in this funding year must be in one of these focus areas: Biology and Translation, and Disparities in Breast Cancer Outcomes,

Application Details:

Applicants: Must have a doctoral degree, including MD, PhD, DrPH, DO, or equivalent; Must currently hold a faculty appointment; Must not have held any faculty appointment, including non-tenure and tenure track appointments combined, for more than a total of 6 years; Must not currently hold or simultaneously apply for a Komen Investigator Initiated Research award. While the CCR is intended to be an independent award to the PI applicant, applicants must include a mentor committee. The primary purpose of the mentor committee is to foster the PI's development of necessary professional skills for research independence by providing research, scientific, clinical, management, and leadership guidance.
