Aim: Early Career breast cancer researchers anywhere in the world are invited to apply for our Career Catalyst Research Grants. These Komen Training and Career Development awards seek to bridge the funding gap faced by faculty as they start their careers in breast cancer research. Grants funded by Komen provide the preparation necessary to compete for independent funding as an established and successful breast cancer researcher.
CCR Grants provide unique opportunities for scientists who have held faculty positions for no more than five years by the Application due date (October 17, 2018). CCR grants provide support for hypothesis-driven research projects that will lead to a reduction in breast cancer deaths by 2026.
The focus area for the FY19 Career Catalyst Research Award is Conquering Metastatic Breast Cancer. The goal of this focus area is to support outstanding translational research into the understanding, detection, and treatment of metastatic breast cancer which will lead to a reduction in breast cancer deaths by 2026.
Duration: Max. 3 years
Funding: Max. USD $150’000/year
Eligibility: Applicant must hold a doctoral degree and must hold a full-time faculty appointment or have a formal offer from the intended host institution. However, the faculty appointment must be no more than 5 years old at the application due date. There are no citizenship or residency requirements.
How to Apply: A Letter of Intent is required to be submitted first. The LOI should contain a research plan and impact statement, and should name a Lead Mentor and a Mentor Committee.
