This Department of Defense (DoD) grant is for the purpose of identifying and supporting exceptionally talented early-career scientists who demonstrate significant potential for innovation and leadership in breast cancer research. The DoD’s Breast Cancer Era of Hope Scholar Award seeks individuals recognized as the ‘best and brightest’ in their fields, exhibiting extraordinary creativity, vision, and productivity. While the focus is on the Principal Investigator’s innovative contribution toward ending breast cancer by challenging conventional dogma, prior breast cancer research experience is not mandatory. Successful applicants must commit at least 50% of their full-time professional effort to breast cancer research during the award period, demonstrating strong potential for effective collaborations and community leadership.

| Description: | The Era of Hope Scholar Award supports individuals who are early in their careers and have demonstrated significant potential for innovation in breast cancer research. These individuals should be exceptionally talented scientists who have shown that they are the “best and brightest” in their field(s) through extraordinary creativity, vision, and productivity. They should have demonstrated experience in forming effective partnerships and collaborations and should exhibit strong potential for leadership in the breast cancer research community. Since the intent of the Era of Hope Scholar Award is to recognize creative and innovative individuals rather than projects, the central feature of the award is the innovative contribution that the Principal Investigator (PI) can make toward ending breast cancer. The PI should articulate a vision that challenges current dogma and demonstrates an ability to look beyond tradition and convention. Experience in breast cancer research is not required; however, the application must focus on breast cancer and the PI must commit at least 50% of his/her full-time professional effort during the award period to breast cancer research. |
