DoD Breast Cancer Concept Award: The BCRP Concept Award mechanism was first offered in FY99. Since that time, 10,081 Concept Award proposals have been received, and 1073 have been recommended for funding. The Concept Award supports the exploration of a highly innovative new concept or untested theory that addresses an important problem relevant to breast cancer. The Concept Award is not intended to support a logical progression of an already established research project but, instead, supports high-risk studies that have the potential to reveal entirely new avenues for investigation. Presentation of preliminary data is not allowed. However, a rationale for the proposed work must be provided. Use of human subjects and human biological substances: Because these awards are designed for preliminary investigations, projects involving human subjects or specimens will not be supported unless they are exempt under Title 32, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 219, Section 101(b)(32 CFR 219.101 [b]). Studies that do not qualify for exempt status will be administratively withdrawn and will not be funded. For studies using only commercially available unidentified specimens, a Claim of Exemption Form will be requested.
