DOD Breast Cancer Synergistic Idea Award: The Breast Cancer Research Program (BCRP) Synergistic Idea Award mechanism was first offered in FY06. Since that time, 718 Synergistic Idea Award proposals have been received and 58 have been recommended for funding. The Synergistic Idea Award supports collaborations between two independent investigators who address an innovative, high-risk, potentially high-reward breast cancer research question from synergistic and complementary perspectives. The Synergistic Idea Award is designed to promote new ideas and new collaborations. Proposals are not required to include preliminary data, but a rationale for the work must be provided. Proposals should have a high probability of revealing new avenues of investigation. The Synergistic Idea Award requires the submission of a single proposal that addresses a critical issue in breast cancer research. Proposals must clearly identify the synergy that will enable or greatly accelerate the evaluation of a single innovative hypothesis. The BCRP seeks proposals from all areas of laboratory clinical, behavioral, and epidemiological research. Multi-institutional and/or multidisciplinary proposals are encouraged but not required. Collaborators not from distinct disciplines must clearly explain why the proposed research is synergistic. Innovation, synergy, and impact are important aspects of the Synergistic Idea Award.Innovation: Research deemed innovative may introduce a new paradigm, challenge current paradigms, look at existing problems from new perspectives, or exhibit other uniquely creative qualities. Examples of research that is not innovative and will not be considered for funding under this award mechanism include: . Investigating the next logical step or incremental advancement of published data. . Exploring a previously tested hypothesis in a different cell line or in a new population. . Using a published series of in vitro assays to further characterize a model system. . Incorporating known biomarkers into in vitro or clinical models of breast cancer. Synergy: Research combinations demonstrating synergy are those that will significantly advance a project beyond what would be possible through individual efforts. Contributions to the synergy of this mechanism are expected to be balanced between the two investigators unless otherwise justified. It should be clear that both investigators have an equal level of intellectual input into the proposed project. This award mechanism is designed to support completely new ideas, not ideas that are extensions of existing collaborative efforts. New collaborations are strongly encouraged but not required. If the investigators have a history of collaboration, then they must clearly demonstrate how the proposed research is a new synergistic effort. Examples of a collaboration that is not synergistic and will not be considered for funding under this award mechanism include: . Reagents supplied by one collaborator and molecular studies completed by the other collaborator. . Service function or core support providing laboratory investigations or statistical analyses. . Projects that can be accomplished in a single PIs laboratory.Impact: Research that has high potential impact may significantly accelerate the eradication of breast cancer.
