The Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) Breast Cancer Research Program (BCRP) has announced the preannouncement of the FY22 program. This pre-announcement allows investigators time to plan and develop ideas for submission to the anticipated FY22 funding opportunities. This pre-announcement should not be construed as an obligation by the government.

Breakthrough Award

Investigators at all academic levels (or equivalent)

Four Funding Levels with/without Partnering PI options

  • Level 1 - Innovative, high-risk/high-reward research that is in the earliest stages of idea development
  • Level 2 - Preclinical research that is already supported by substantial preliminary or published data
  • Level 2: Population Science and Prevention Studies - With compelling justification, population science and prevention studies may request higher levels of funding and an additional year in the period of performance.
  • Funding Level 3 - Advanced translational studies with a high degree of project readiness.
  • Funding Level 4 - Large-scale projects that will transform and revolutionize the clinical management and/or prevention of breast cancer.
