BCRF Precision Prevention Initiative (PPI)

The overarching goal of the PPI initiative is to fuel innovation and accelerate breast cancer prevention research by challenging the research community to think boldly; to explore multidisciplinary approaches to get the answers in less time, utilize new technologies or identify new ways to examine available data, and to build or enhance infrastructure, resources, and tools that will facilitate innovation in prevention research for years to come.

Applications should focus on three primary areas of impact:

1) Risk Assessment and Stratification;

2) Biomarkers;

3) Interventions

This Initiative offers 3 funding tracks: 

1. Innovation Grants
   Single investigator, with a new area of discovery in primary breast cancer prevention. High translational potential.
   Funding: $250,000 per year 
   Duration: 2 years
    
2. Pre-clinical Grants
   Translational research with direct impact on breast cancer prevention. Facilitate integration of advanced technologies or complex experimental systems. Multidisciplinary collaborations encouraged. 
   Funding: $500,000 per year 
   Duration: 3 years
    
3. Clinical Trial or Intervention Study Grants
   Funding: $750,000 per year 
   Duration: 3 years
