This grant from the Department of Defense (DoD) is for visionary individuals who have demonstrated exceptional creativity, innovative work, and leadership, even if not exclusively in breast cancer fields. The DoD Breast Cancer Innovator Award aims to provide funding and freedom for these individuals to pursue their most novel, high-risk ideas that could ultimately lead to the eradication of breast cancer. The central feature of this award is the principal investigator’s potential innovative contribution to breast cancer eradication. Applicants must have a record of successful partnerships, continued innovation, and a vision that challenges existing paradigms. While breast cancer research experience isn’t mandatory, the application must focus on breast cancer, and the PI must commit at least 50% of their professional effort to this research.

| Description: | The Innovator Award supports visionary individuals who have demonstrated creativity, innovative work, and leadership in any field including, but not limited to, breast cancer. The Innovator Award will provide these individuals with the funding and freedom to pursue their most novel, visionary, high-risk ideas that could ultimately lead to the eradication of breast cancer. The individuals may be from diverse organizations including, but not limited to, academic institutions, advocacy groups, government agencies, the private sector, the media, and/or professional societies. Since the intent of the Innovator Award mechanism 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 to the eradication of breast cancer. The PI is expected to have demonstrated success at forming and leading effective partnerships and collaborations. The PI also should have a past record of creativity, promise for continued innovation in future work, and 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. |
