BCRP seeks to accelerate high-impact research with clinical relevance, encourage innovation and stimulate creativity,and facilitate productive collaborations.

BCRP Overarching Challenges

Consistent with the program's overall goal, the BCRP encourages applications to address one of the following BCRP overarching challenges:

- Prevent breast cancer (primary prevention)

- Identify determinants of breast cancer initiation, risk, or susceptibility

- Distinguish deadly from non-deadly breast cancers

- Conquer the problems of overdiagnosis and overtreatment

- Identify what drives breast cancer growth; determine how to stop it

- Identify why some breast cancers become metastatic

- Determine why/how breast cancer cells lie dormant for years and then re-emerge; determine how to prevent lethal recurrence

- Revolutionize treatment regimens by replacing them with ones that are more effective, less toxic, and impact survival

- Eliminate the mortality associated with metastatic breast cancer

- Alternatively, with adequate justification, applications may identify and address another overarching challenge related to the breast cancer landscape. Justification must be provided in the application

The BCRP is currently accepting applications for five award mechanisms

- Breakthrough Award Levels 1 and 2

- Breakthrough Award Levels 3
