Department of Defense(DoD) Breast Cancer Research Program Synergistic Idea Award: The Synergistic Idea Award supports collaborations between two independent, faculty-level (or equivalent) 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 therefore 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, if successful. The Synergistic Idea Award requires the submission of a single proposal that addresses a critical issue in breast cancer research. The proposal may be structured as either two separate but complementary and highly synergistic objectives, or as a balanced, synergistic collaboration integrated into a single project. Proposals must clearly define the synergistic components that will enable or greatly accelerate the evaluation of a single innovative hypothesis. The BCRP seeks proposals from all areas of laboratory, preclinical, 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. Major disciplines include, but are not limited to: biological sciences (including both basic and clinical sciences); chemical sciences; social and behavioral sciences; engineering, physical, and mathematical sciences; and public health research.
