Novel Concept Award / Pilot Study Grant
In an effort to support new ideas and encourage the development of innovative, potentially beneficial but high-risk avenues of investigation, the NBCF continues its innovative program of breast cancer research through Novel Concept Awards / Pilot Study Grants.
It is anticipated that research completed through a NBCF Novel Concept Award / Pilot Study Grant will provide sufficient preliminary data to enable the investigator to prepare a proposal for future research funding. It is not expected that researchers applying for these awards will present preliminary data with their application.
These awards will provide investigators with the opportunity to pursue serendipitous observations and/or explore new, untested ideas relevant to breast cancer. Successful applicants will demonstrate the potential for advancing scientific knowledge and/or breaking new theoretical ground and/or challenge existing understandings. These proposals are not intended to fund small Projects that continue established lines of investigation. They are intended to initiate new Projects that develop new ideas.
Who should apply?
Applications are invited from the entire continuum of breast cancer research, from basic science to prevention, treatment and care, insofar as the proposed idea has the potential to help prevent breast cancer, improve survival and enhance quality of life.
Applicants with less research experience or with research experience which is outside breast cancer, but with conceptually valid proposals, are encouraged to apply providing they can demonstrate adequate scientific support from experienced researchers in the area and the necessary administrative support of their institution.
Please see the Research Calendar for more information.
