DOD Breast Cancer Research Program Postdoctoral Award: The BCRP Postdoctoral Award mechanism was first offered in FY93. Since that time, 1,586 Postdoctoral Award proposals have been received and 525 have been recommended for funding. The Postdoctoral Award enables recent medical or other doctoral degree graduates to obtain the necessary experience to pursue an independent career in breast cancer research. Candidates for this award should exhibit a strong desire to pursue a career in breast cancer research. Under this award mechanism, the postdoctoral trainee is considered the Principal Investigator (PI) and, as such, should write the project narrative with appropriate direction from the mentor. While the PI is not required to have previous experience in breast cancer research, this proposal must focus on breast cancer research. The mentor must possess the appropriate expertise in breast cancer, have current peer reviewed breast cancer funding, and clearly demonstrate a commitment to guiding the PIs research and training. Postdoctoral Award proposals should either extend the candidates ongoing research related to breast cancer, or broaden the scope of his or her research to include work that is highly relevant to breast cancer, under the guidance of a designated mentor. Proposals with a multidisciplinary research approach to breast cancer are highly encouraged but not required.
