Aim: Komen is excited to announce a new funding opportunity for researchers to use a truly unique resource: The Susan G. Komen Tissue Bank at the IU Simon Cancer Center (Komen Tissue Bank, or KTB), the first and only biorepository in the world containing breast tissue and blood products from donors that show no evidence of breast cancer at the time of donation. Since 2007, over 8,000 women have donated their blood and/or tissue to help the research community. To leverage this valuable resource, we are seeking the best ideas in innovative research proposals to move the field of breast cancer forward.
Komen is asking researchers to submit Letters of Intent to describe their innovative research projects that will use KTB resources.
Duration: Max. 2 years
Funding: Max. USD $200’000
Eligibility: Applicants must have faculty-level appointments.
How to Apply: Applicants should submit a 2-page Letter of Intent, describing their project and its impact. These must be submitted on the platform proposalCENTRAL. On proposalCENTRAL, please enter the name of the host institution exactly as “Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne EPFL”. For more information on the Letter of Intent, see the LoI instructions. Decisions on the Letter of Intent will be returned by November 11th. Selected applicants will be invited to prepare a full Application, which will be due December 16th. The top applications will be invited to present their proposal at the Komen Tissue Bank Competition, held during the Komen Scholars meeting on February 27th, 2020.
