The mission of Breast Cancer Alliance is to improve survival rates and quality of life for those impacted by breast cancer through better prevention, early detection, treatment, and cure. The Alliance invests in innovative research, breast surgery fellowships, education, dignified regional support, and screening for the underserved.
Breast Cancer Alliance provides annual grants focusing on four key areas: Exceptional Project Research, Young Investigator Research, Breast Surgery Fellowships, and Education and Outreach. These grants support innovative research and projects that aim to advance the understanding, prevention, and treatment of breast cancer. The Exceptional Project Grant, specifically, is awarded to clinical doctors and research scientists conducting creative, unique, and innovative research in breast cancer. This grant offers $100,000 for salary support and project costs over a one-year term, with indirect costs limited to 8% of total direct costs.
