GTDR Grants (formerly Post-Baccalaureate Training in Disparities Research Grants, PBTDR) are intended to establish and/or to sustain a training program for students who are seeking careers dedicated to understanding and eliminating disparities in breast cancer outcomes across population groups. GTDR Grants are awarded to a single Mentor/Principal Investigator or a Mentor/PI and Co-Mentor/Co-Principal Investigator to support a minimum of three graduate students/trainees (those in a masters and/or doctoral program) per year. The PI and Co-PIs must serve as the primary mentors for the trainees, but additional mentors may be specified in the application.
Direct costs of $135,000 per year are provided for up to three years.
Postdoctoral Fellowship …show more content…
By providing funding to outstanding postdoctoral/postgraduate fellows under the guidance of a mentor, Komen seeks to ensure that a diverse pool of highly trained scientists will emerge as the next generation of leaders in the field of breast cancer research. This award mechanism supports hypothesis-driven research projects in either basic/translational or clinical research.
Direct costs of $60,000 per year are provided for two or three years.
Career Catalyst Research (CCR)
CCR Grants are intended to foster promising breast cancer researchers who are in the early stages of their faculty careers by providing support up to three years of “protected” time for research career development under the guidance of a mentor committee. It is expected that awardees will launch independent research careers and successfully compete for subsequent research project funding in breast cancer following the successful completion of a CCR Grant. This award mechanism supports hypothesis-driven research projects in either basic/translational or clinical research.
Direct and indirect costs for up to $150,000 per year are provided for two or three
