Cancer - Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation funding opportunities 2015/2016 ($ 450,000)

The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation invites applications for its research grants. Deadline for submission of pre-applications is June 17, 2015. Career Catalyst Research Grants are up to $ 450,000 combined direct and indirect costs ($ 150,000 per year for up to 3 years). Postdoctoral Fellowships are up to $ 180,000 direct costs only ($ 60,000 per year for 2 to 3 years). Graduate Training in Disparities Research is up to $ 405,000 direct costs only ($ 135,000 per year for up to 3 years).

Career Catalyst Research (CCR) Grants provide unique opportunities for scientists who have held faculty positions for no more than six years at the time of full application to achieve research independence. CCR grants provide support for hypothesis-driven research projects that have significant potential to advance our understanding of breast cancer, lead to reductions in breast cancer incidence and/or mortality, and move us toward the goal of a world without breast cancer.

Postdoctoral Fellowships (PDF) Grants seek to attract and support promising scientists embarking on careers dedicated to breast cancer research who have no more than 3 years post-completion of their most recent clinical fellowship, 5 years post-completion of their most recent residency (for physicians), or 5 years post-completion of their most recent Ph.D.

Graduate Training in Disparities Research (GTDR) Grants (formerly Post-Baccalaureate Training in Disparities Research Grants, PBTDR) are intended to establish and/or to sustain a training program for a minimum of three graduate students who are seeking careers dedicated to understanding and eliminating disparities in breast cancer outcomes across population groups.
