 gful change in breast cancer. These individuals should be exceptionally ta
 lented scientists who have shown that they are the “best and brightest
 ” in their field(s) through extraordinary creativity\, vision\, innovati
 on\, and productivity.\n\nExperience in breast cancer research is not requ
 ired\; however\, the application must focus on breast cancer. Individuals 
 from other disciplines who will apply novel concepts to breast cancer are 
 also encouraged to submit.\n\nConsidering the current breast cancer landsc
 ape and the BCRP’s mission\, all FY20 BCRP Era of Hope Scholar Award app
 lications must address at least one of the overarching challenges for FY20
 \, which are listed at the end of this announcement.\n\nFunding:

 ary prevention)\n	Identify determinants of breast cancer initiation\, risk
 \, or susceptibility\n	Distinguish deadly from non-deadly breast cancers\n
 	Conquer the problems of overdiagnosis and overtreatment\n	Identify what d
 rives breast cancer growth\; determine how to stop it\n	Identify why some 
 breast cancers become metastatic\n	Determine why/how breast cancer cells l
 ie dormant for years and then re-emerge\; determine how to prevent lethal 
 recurrence\n	Revolutionize treatment regimens by replacing them with ones

  mortality associated with metastatic breast cancer\n
