Department of Defense(DoD) Breast Cancer Research Program(BCRP) Era of Hope Postdoctoral Award: 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 intent of the BCRP Era of Hope Postdoctoral Award is to identify and fund exceptionally talented recent doctoral graduates who possess both the ambition and the ability to pursue highly innovative breast cancer research during their postdoctoral training. The proposed research should challenge current scientific dogma and demonstrate an ability to look beyond tradition and convention. Award recipients will be expected to challenge the status quo through creative, high-risk, potentially high-gain research that ultimately may lead to the eradication of breast cancer. Candidates for this award should exhibit a strong desire to pursue a career in breast cancer research. Candidates should provide evidence that they are the "best and brightest" among their peers. Proposals must provide evidence of the candidates potential for success in pursuing innovative research based on his/her qualifications, characteristics, achievements, and letters of support. The proposed research must be clearly outlined and the innovative nature of the planned research project must be explicitly stated. Proposals must also provide details on the suitability of the candidates overall training plan, including information about the mentors experience in conducting innovative research and commitment to support the candidate. In addition, proposals must elaborate on the training environment in which the candidate will work and how it will facilitate the candidates career development as an innovator at the forefront of breast cancer research. These aspects of the proposal will receive primary emphasis in the review process for this award mechanism. It is not a requirement of this award mechanism that the applicant have experience in breast cancer research; however, the research proposal must focus on breast cancer research. Applicants must be nominated to be considered for this award mechanism; however, self-nominations will be accepted. All recipients of the Era of Hope Postdoctoral Award will meet annually with recipients of the Innovator, Era of Hope Scholar, and Multidisciplinary Postdoctoral Awards; the BCRP IP; and CDMRP program staff for the purpose of open scientific communication and mutual benefit. The CDMRP expects to allot approximately $5 M of the $127.5 M FY06 BCRP appropriation to fund approximately 17 Era of Hope Postdoctoral Awards, depending on the quality and number of proposals received. Funding for this award can be requested for up to $90,000 per year for direct costs. The performance period may be requested for up to 3 years, with the maximum funding for a 3-year performance period being $270,000 in direct costs. In addition, indirect costs should be added as appropriate. Proposals for projects requiring lower levels of funding may also be submitted. These funds can cover salary/stipend, training, tuition, research supplies, equipment, travel to scientific/technical meetings, support for multidisciplinary collaborations, and workshops. The nature of the BCRP does not allow for renewal of grants or supplementation of existing grants. The amount allotted for the postdoctoral fellows salary/stipend is $53,000 for the first year, $55,000 for the second year, and $57,000 for the third year. This money must be used toward the salary of the trainee but may be supplemented by other sources, as appropriate. Estimated timelines for the FY06 BCRP Era of Hope Postdoctoral Award are as follows: Nomination submissions are due by, April 11, 2006, 5:00 p.m. Eastern time and Proposal Submission is due July 25, 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.
