Grant Description: The BCRP Transformative Vision Award supports research projects to realize an extraordinary vision for dramatically affecting the prevention or treatment of breast cancer, and a plan to test and achieve the vision as quickly as possible through the translation of these ideas into patients. The scope of the effort may include a broad spectrum of research spanning from basic to clinical studies. The critical components of this award mechanism are: Vision and Impact: A vision for a new approach that will have a revolutionary impact on the prevention or treatment of breast cancer must be articulated. 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 how the vision will transform the state-of-the-art by challenging current dogma and looking beyond convention must be provided. Implementation: The vision must be supported by a detailed plan that identifies critical milestones, outlines the innovations and technical solutions that will be implemented to accomplish the milestones, and explains how these solutions will be translated to patients. 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 is expected to have demonstrated experience in successfully leading large, focused projects. The PI should create an environment that fosters and supports innovation and creativity, with consistent, intensive interaction within the research team in a way that engages all members of the team in all aspects of the research project.
