Grant Description: vision for dramatically affecting the prevention or treatment of breast cancer, and a plan to test and achieve the vision as quickly as possible. The critical components of this award mechanism are:Vision: The most important aspect of the Transformative Vision Award is the articulation of the vision for a new approach to significantly impact the prevention or treatment of breast cancer. The final impact may be near-term or long-term, but the success of the vision must be transformative on breast cancer. A careful presentation of the state-of-the-art, and how the vision will transform this state, must be described.Implementation: The vision must be supported by a detailed plan that identifies critical milestones and clearly outlines the innovations and technical solutions that will be implemented to accomplish the milestones. It is expected that the proposed plan will present an exceptional level of innovation and creativity, and that the Principal Investigator (PI) will assemble the team necessary to realize the vision. The PI should have demonstrated experience in successfully leading large, focused projects. The scope of the research effort may include a broad spectrum of research spanning from basic to clinical studies, with the end result leading to a revolutionary impact on an area of paramount importance in breast cancer prevention or treatment.The Transformative Vision Award will be supported in two phases. Phase I will enable the team to lay the groundwork for the research project and to test the basic concepts of the vision. Phase II will allow the expansion of the project to proceed to accomplishment of the vision.
