Opportunity Summary:
The DoD Breast Cancer Inter Institutional Training Award (BCRP IITA) is a Department of Defense Breast Cancer Research Program funding opportunity designed to help build breast cancer research capacity at academic institutions that do not currently have an established breast cancer research program. Its central purpose is not simply to fund a single project, but to lay the groundwork for a sustainable, competitive breast cancer research presence at the applicant institution. The program does this by emphasizing structured mentoring, hands-on training, and collaborative research relationships that can realistically move investigators and their home institution into the breast cancer research community over time.
A defining feature of this opportunity is its focus on training multiple faculty-level investigators together. The award supports two or more faculty investigators (a Principal Investigator and one or more co-Principal Investigators) who have limited or no prior experience in breast cancer research. These investigators are expected to make a clear commitment to developing into competitive breast cancer researchers and, importantly, to establishing or strengthening an ongoing breast cancer research program at their institution. In other words, reviewers are looking for evidence that this is an institutional growth effort, not a one-off collaboration.
The mechanism is intentionally inter-institutional. The applicant team must come from an academic institution with limited breast cancer funding and/or resources, and they must partner with at least one experienced breast cancer researcher at a different institution that already has a well-established breast cancer research program. That external senior researcher serves as the Primary Collaborating Mentor, providing direction, expertise, and a credible training environment. The goal is for the less-experienced investigators to gain practical research skills, mentorship, and collaborative experience by working directly with an established breast cancer program rather than trying to build expertise in isolation.
From an application standpoint, the PI and co-PI(s) are expected to prepare and submit the application jointly, with appropriate guidance from the Primary Collaborating Mentor. This underscores that the proposal should be cohesive across investigators and institutions, with a clear plan for mentoring, training activities, and collaborative research that can lead to longer-term breast cancer research independence and program development at the home institution.
Administratively, this opportunity was released by the Department of the Army, U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) under Funding Opportunity Number W81XWH-10-BCRP-IITA. It falls under the Science and Technology/Research and Development category and is offered as a Grant and/or Cooperative Agreement. The program anticipated making about 3 awards, with an estimated total funding level of $4.5 million. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed. Eligibility is described as unrestricted (open to any entity type), although the intent and described structure make it most relevant to academic institutions that lack an established breast cancer research program and can partner with a strong external breast cancer research mentor. The CFDA listing associated with it is 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development).
Key dates in the notice include a posted date of January 29, 2010, with an original closing date of June 23, 2010, later reflected as a current closing date of May 27, 2010, and an archive date of June 26, 2010.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) - DoD Breast Cancer Inter Institutional Training Award (BCRP IITA)
What is the DoD Breast Cancer Inter Institutional Training Award (BCRP IITA)?
The BCRP IITA is a Department of Defense Breast Cancer Research Program funding opportunity designed to build breast cancer research capacity at academic institutions that do not currently have an established breast cancer research program. The emphasis is on structured mentoring, hands-on training, and inter-institutional collaboration to help investigators and their home institution develop a sustainable, competitive breast cancer research presence over time.
What is the main goal of this award?
The central purpose is not just to fund a single research project. It is intended to lay the groundwork for a lasting breast cancer research program at the applicant institution by developing multiple faculty investigators through mentoring, training activities, and collaborative research relationships with an established breast cancer research program at another institution.
Who is this opportunity meant to support?
It is meant to support academic institutions with limited breast cancer funding and/or resources that want to develop or strengthen an ongoing breast cancer research program. It specifically focuses on developing two or more faculty-level investigators who have limited or no prior experience in breast cancer research.
How many investigators must be included on an application?
The award supports two or more faculty investigators together. The application team must include a Principal Investigator (PI) and one or more co-Principal Investigators (co-PI[s]).
What level of breast cancer research experience is expected for the PI and co-PI(s)?
The PI and co-PI(s) are expected to have limited or no prior experience in breast cancer research. Reviewers are looking for a clear commitment from these investigators to develop into competitive breast cancer researchers.
Is this award intended to build institutional capacity, or fund a one-time collaboration?
It is explicitly framed as an institutional growth effort. Reviewers are looking for evidence that the work will establish or strengthen an ongoing breast cancer research program at the applicant institution, rather than serve as a one-off collaboration.
What does "inter-institutional" mean for this program?
The program requires partnership between (1) an applicant academic institution with limited breast cancer funding and/or resources and (2) at least one experienced breast cancer researcher at a different institution that already has a well-established breast cancer research program.
Is an external mentor required?
Yes. The team must partner with an experienced breast cancer researcher at another institution who serves as the Primary Collaborating Mentor. This mentor provides direction, expertise, and a credible training environment within an established breast cancer research program.
What is the role of the Primary Collaborating Mentor?
The Primary Collaborating Mentor is an experienced breast cancer researcher based at a different institution with an established breast cancer program. The mentor is expected to provide direction, expertise, mentoring, and access to a strong training environment so that the less-experienced investigators gain practical research skills and collaborative experience.
What is expected of the PI and co-PI(s) when preparing the application?
The PI and co-PI(s) are expected to prepare and submit the application jointly, with appropriate guidance from the Primary Collaborating Mentor. This signals that the proposal should be cohesive across investigators and institutions and include a clear plan for mentoring, training activities, and collaborative research.
What types of activities does the program emphasize?
Based on the opportunity description, the program emphasizes structured mentoring, hands-on training, and collaborative research relationships with an established breast cancer program. The intent is to develop investigators and build a pathway toward breast cancer research independence and program development at the applicant institution.
