## What the grant funds

Summary: Supports individuals who are early in their careers with significant potential to effect meaningful change in breast cancer. As the intent of the fiscal year 2025 (FY25) Breast Cancer Research Program (BCRP) Era of Hope Scholar Award is to recognize creative and innovative individuals rather than projects, the central features of the award are the demonstrated ability of the Principal Investigator (PI) to go beyond conventional thinking in their field and the innovative contributions that they can make toward ending breast cancer. 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.
