| Description:: | The Idea Award is designed to promote new ideas that are still in the early stages of development and have the potential to yield highly impactful data and new avenues of investigation. This mechanism supports conceptually innovative, high-risk/high-reward research that could lead to critical discoveries or major advancements that will accelerate progress toward ending breast cancer. Applications should include a well-formulated, testable hypothesis based on strong scientific rationale. Innovation and impact are the most important aspects of the Idea Award. Applications that demonstrate exceptional scientific merit but lack innovation and high potential impact do not meet the intent of the Idea Award. Presentation of preliminary data is not consistent with the intent of the Idea Award mechanism. While the inclusion of preliminary data is not prohibited, the strength of the application should not rely on preliminary data, but on the innovative idea and the potential impact it will provide. |
