Opportunity Summary:
The DoD Breast Cancer Era of Hope Scholar Award is a Department of Defense funding opportunity designed to back early-career scientists who show unusually strong promise to drive new, high-impact ideas in breast cancer research. The program is aimed at researchers who have already demonstrated exceptional creativity, vision, and productivity, and who stand out as potential future leaders in the breast cancer research community. A key emphasis is on the person rather than a single narrowly defined project: reviewers are looking for evidence that the Principal Investigator can bring a distinctive, innovative contribution that could meaningfully accelerate progress toward eliminating breast cancer.
What sets this award apart is its focus on bold thinking and originality. Applicants are expected to lay out a clear scientific vision that challenges prevailing assumptions, pushes beyond conventional approaches, and shows a willingness to rethink established “dogma” in the field. The award also values researchers who can work effectively across disciplines and organizations, so a track record of building strong collaborations and partnerships is an important part of being competitive. While prior experience specifically in breast cancer is not required, the proposal itself must be centered on breast cancer, and the investigator must commit substantial effort to the area.
In terms of commitment and expectations, the Principal Investigator must devote at least 50 percent of their full-time professional effort during the award period to breast cancer research. This requirement underscores that the program is meant to help launch or accelerate a sustained breast cancer research trajectory, not support a side project. The funding mechanism for this opportunity allows support through either a cooperative agreement or a grant, depending on how the program is administered and the level of involvement expected from the sponsor.
Administrative details from the announcement indicate this was released under Funding Opportunity Number W81XWH-11-BCRP-EOHS by the Department of the Army (USAMRAA) under the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs umbrella. It was posted on April 19, 2011, with an application closing date of June 21, 2011, and an archive date of July 21, 2011. The program anticipated making about three awards, with an estimated total funding level of $11,250,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, and eligibility was listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any clarifications in the full text of the announcement. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development) and falls under science, technology, and research and development activities.
For assistance related to accessing the announcement or submission systems, the listed contacts included a program announcement help line and email (PA HELP at 301-619-7079, cdmrp.pa@amedd.army.mil) as well as eReceipt/CDMRP help desk support (301-682-5507, help@cdmrp.org).
