Opportunity Summary:
The DOD Breast Cancer Era of Hope Scholar Award is a U.S. Department of the Army (USAMRAA) funding opportunity under the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) Breast Cancer Research Program (BCRP) designed to invest in people rather than a single narrowly defined project. Its purpose is to support early-career investigators who have already shown exceptional talent and who are positioned to become influential leaders in the breast cancer research community. The emphasis is on finding investigators who stand out as "best and brightest" based on clear evidence of extraordinary creativity, bold scientific vision, and strong productivity, along with a track record of building effective collaborations and partnerships.
A defining feature of this award is that it centers on the Principal Investigator's (PI's) innovative contribution and long-term vision for making a major impact toward ending breast cancer. Applicants are expected to articulate a compelling research direction that pushes beyond standard thinking, challenges prevailing assumptions or dogma, and shows an ability to see new possibilities outside of traditional approaches. In other words, the award is intended to recognize and enable high-impact innovators, not simply fund incremental or conventional work.
While prior breast cancer research experience is not required, the proposed effort must be clearly focused on breast cancer. In addition, the PI must make a significant commitment of time: at least 50 percent of their full-time professional effort during the award period must be devoted to breast cancer research supported under this program. This requirement signals that the program is looking for investigators who will meaningfully pivot or dedicate a substantial portion of their research agenda to breast cancer, rather than treating it as a side project.
From the published opportunity details, the funding opportunity number is W81XWH-12-BCRP-EOHS, and the instrument type allows for either a cooperative agreement or a grant. It falls under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, with CFDA number 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development). The announcement anticipated up to 5 awards, with an estimated total funding level of $18,750,000, and it indicated no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted (open broadly to applicant entity types, subject to any clarifications in the full announcement). The opportunity was posted February 23, 2012, with an original and current closing date of April 19, 2012, and an archive date of May 19, 2012.
