Opportunity Summary:
The DOD FY12 Breast Cancer Research Program (BCRP) Postdoctoral Fellowship Award is a U.S. Department of Defense funding opportunity designed to launch exceptionally talented early-career scientists into high-impact breast cancer research careers. The core purpose of the award is to support recent doctoral or medical graduates during their postdoctoral training as they pursue innovative breast cancer research projects with the potential to make a meaningful difference in the field. A central theme of the program is career development: the award is structured to help the fellow gain the skills, experience, and scientific independence needed to move toward becoming an independent investigator at the forefront of breast cancer research.
This mechanism specifically targets applicants who are considered among the strongest in their peer group, described in the announcement as the "best and brightest." In practical terms, that means the program is looking for postdoctoral candidates with clear evidence of exceptional promise and a strong commitment to staying in breast cancer research as a long-term career path. Another defining feature is that, under this award, the postdoctoral fellow is treated as the Principal Investigator, emphasizing the fellow's ownership of the project and reinforcing the goal of building independence and leadership early in their career.
Administratively, the opportunity was released by the Department of the Army through the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) under Funding Opportunity Number W81XWH-12-BCRP-POSTDOC2. It was offered as a discretionary research and development award using either a cooperative agreement or a grant instrument type, and it fell under CFDA 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development). The program anticipated making about 16 awards with an estimated total funding level of $7.2 million, and it did not require cost sharing or matching funds. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was broadly open to applicant organizations, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may have appeared in the full announcement.
Key dates for this FY12 cycle included a posted date of October 3, 2012, and an application closing date of December 18, 2012, with the opportunity later archived on January 17, 2013. For applicants needing assistance accessing or submitting materials, the announcement directed inquiries to the CDMRP Help Desk (PA HELP and eReceipt HELP) at 301-682-5507 or help@cdmrp.org.
