Grant Description

The BCRP Predoctoral Traineeship Award was first offered in FY93. Since that time, 3,102 Predoctoral Traineeship Award applications have been received and 1,114 have been recommended for funding. The Predoctoral Traineeship Award supports the training of promising graduate students studying breast cancer under the guidance of a designated mentor to prepare them for successful careers in breast cancer research. Under this award mechanism, the predoctoral trainee is considered the Principal Investigator (PI) and, as such, should write the application with appropriate direction from the mentor. The mentor must clearly demonstrate a commitment to guiding the PI’s research and training and must have a track record in breast cancer research. If the mentor is not an experienced breast cancer researcher, then a formal co-mentorship by an established breast cancer researcher is required. Applications should emphasize: • The PI’s talent, potential, and commitment to breast cancer research, • The mentor’s qualifications and experience in breast cancer research, • The level of the mentor’s support of the PI’s research and training, • The strength of the training program in breast cancer research, and • The institution’s commitment to training future leaders in breast cancer research.
