Several award programs are available:\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>The <strong>Breakthrough Awards</strong> supports promising research that has high potential to lead to or make breakthroughs in breast cancer. The Breakthrough Award is structured with four different funding levels. Each level has a defined research scope :\r\n\t<ul>\r\n\t\t<li><u>Funding Level 1</u>: Innovative, high-risk/high-reward research that is in the earliest stages of idea development or is an untested theory that addresses an important problem.</li>\r\n\t\t<li><u>Funding Level 2</u>: Research that is already supported by substantial preliminary or published data and strongly validates clinical translation in a well-defined context within the breast cancer landscape.</li>\r\n\t\t<li><u>Funding Level 3</u><strong>: </strong>Advanced translational studies with a high degree of project readiness.</li>\r\n\t\t<li><u>Funding Level 4</u><strong>: </strong>Large-scale projects that will transform and revolutionize the clinical management and/or prevention of breast cancer. Human clinical trials are required.</li>\r\n\t</ul>\r\n\t</li>\r\n\t<li>The <strong>Clinical Research Extension Award</strong> aims to extend the data collection, follow-up, and analysis of breast cancer clinical research studies. Proposed research may entail a deeper molecular analysis of clinical samples, initiation of new correlative studies, biomarker validation, or continuing clinical follow-up of patients currently/previously enrolled in an open/ongoing or completed clinical trial.</li>\r\n\t<li>The <strong>Era of Hope Scholar Award</strong> supports individuals early in their careers who have demonstrated significant potential to effect meaningful change in breast cancer. These individuals should be exceptionally talented scientists who have shown that they are the “best and brightest” in their field(s)</li>\r\n\t<li>The <strong>Transformative Breast Cancer Consortium Award</strong> is designed to support large-scale, multidisciplinary and multi-institutional consortia that address major challenges in breast cancer through tightly integrated and collaborative research efforts. It enables up to five Principal Investigators, including a Consortium Director, to work within a coordinated framework where all project components are aligned toward a shared central hypothesis. The award specifically aims to foster innovative and paradigm-shifting approaches that go beyond the capabilities of individual laboratories, requiring strong integration across scientific, administrative, and logistical aspects, as well as the active involvement of breast cancer advocates and cross-disciplinary expertise.</li>\r\n\t<li>The <strong>Transformative Breast Cancer Consortium Development Award</strong> is intended to provide successful applicants the time and resources needed to bring investigators and breast cancer advocates together to establish a consortium framework and conduct preliminary research to support application to a future, full Transformative Breast Cancer Consortium Award (pending availability of funds). This is a development award and is a separate mechanism from the full consortium award. Recipients of the FY26 Transformative Breast Cancer Consortium Development Award are expected to submit an application to compete for the full Transformative Breast Cancer Consortium Award anticipated to be offered in a future fiscal year(s).</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<br>\r\nAll applications must align with at least one BCRP Overarching Challenge.
