Grant Description: The overall goal of the FY06 BCRP is to promote research focused on eradicating breast cancer. Therefore, the BCRP challenges the scientific community to design innovative research that will foster new directions for, address neglected issues in, and bring new investigators to the field of breast cancer research. The BCRP focuses its funding on innovative projects, particularly those involving multidisciplinary and/or multi-institutional collaborations and alliances that have the potential to make a significant impact on breast cancer. Projects that address underinvestigated avenues of research or novel applications of existing technologies are strongly encouraged. The BCRP encourages risk-taking research; however, all projects must demonstrate solid scientific judgment and rationale. The BCRPs objective within this context is to fund a balanced portfolio of scientifically meritorious research related to all aspects of breast cancer. The BCRP seeks proposals from all areas of laboratory, clinical, behavioral, and epidemiologic research, including all disciplines within the basic, clinical, psychosocial, behavioral, sociocultural, and environmental sciences, nursing; occupational health, alternative therapies, public health and policy, ethics, and economics. Proposals that address the needs of minority, low-income, rural, and other underrepresented and/or medically underserved populations are strongly encouraged. The Predoctoral Traineeship Award prepares promising graduate students studying breast cancer under the guidance of a designated mentor for careers in breast cancer research. Individuals enrolled in a Ph.D. or M.D./PhD. program are encouraged to apply. Proposals should emphasize: � The trainees talent, potential, and commitment to breast cancer research, � The mentors qualifications and experience in breast cancer research, � The strong training program in breast cancer research at the trainees institution, � The innovative research environment, and � The institutions commitment to training future leaders in breast cancer research. Proposals must be written and signed by the trainee as the applicant and author, with appropriate direction from the mentor. The trainee must describe the proposed research project, breast cancer research training program, and his or her career goals in the body of the proposal. The mentor is responsible for preparing certain components of the proposal. Proposals will not be evaluated and awards will not be made for "to be named" trainees. Approximately $5 M of this appropriation will be available to fund 50 BCRP Predoctoral Traineeship Awards, depending on the quality and number of proposals received. The Predoctoral Traineeship Award is intended to support the trainee during dissertation research rather than rotations or basic course work. Funding for Predoctoral Traineeship Awards can be requested for up to $30,000 per year for direct costs. The performance period may be requested for up to 3 years. The maximum funding for a 3-year performance period is $90,000 in direct costs. In addition, indirect costs should be added as appropriate. A maximum indirect cost rate of 8% is allowed. Any funding (direct costs) in excess of the allowable stipend must be used as direct support for the trainee. These funds can cover the applicants salary/stipend, tuition, health insurance, and travel to scientific/technical meetings. Although animal and human research may be proposed, such research will not be funded by these awards. These funds may be not be used for supplies or equipment. Estimated timelines for the FY06 BCRP Predoctoral Traineeship Award are as follows: On-line letters of intent are due by, April 26, 2006, 5:00 p.m. Easterne Time and Proposal Submission is due May 23, 2006, 5:00 p.m. Eastern time. Electronic submission is required. Proposal will be accepted only as PDF files submitted through the CDMRP eReceipt system. The CDMRP uses a two tier review process for proposals: scientific peer review, followed by programmatic review. Details of both tiers of review can be found in the full text of the Program Announcement. Applicants should submit questions as early as possible. Every effort will be made to answer questions within 5 working days.
