PIs should be exceptionally talented scientists that are among “the best and the brightest” in their field(s), have demonstrated experience forming effective partnerships and collaborations, and exhibit strong potential for future leadership in breast cancer research. Applications must address one of the FY25 BCRP overarching challenges, unless adequate justification for exception is provided.Distinctive Features:· The PI must commit a minimum of 25% level of time and effort during the period of performance to conduct breast cancer research under this award.· The research team must include two or more breast cancer consumer advocates.
