<div><b> </b></div>
<div>Postdoctoral Fellowship Awards support exceptionally talented
recent medical or other doctoral graduates in their pursuit of
innovative, high-impact breast cancer research during their
postdoctoral training and allows them to obtain the necessary
experience for an independent career at the forefront of breast cancer
research. The postdoctoral trainee is considered the Principal
Investigator (PI) and, as such, should write the project narrative
with appropriate direction from the mentor. While the PI is not
required to have previous experience in breast cancer research, this
application must focus on breast cancer research. Applications must
provide evidence of the PI's potential for success in becoming an
independent breast cancer researcher based on his/her qualifications,
characteristics, achievements, and letters of recommendations. The
mentor (or co-mentor, if applicable) must possess the appropriate
expertise and experience in breast cancer, to include peer reviewed
breast cancer funding and publications, and clearly demonstrate a
commitment to guiding the PI's research and training. As of
the application submission deadline, the PI must have been in the
laboratory in which this research is to be performed for no more than
2 years, and he/she must have a total of less than 4 years of
postdoctoral research experience (excluding clinical residency or
fellowship training).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>A maximum of $300,000 ($100,000 per year) for direct costs over a
3 year maximum performance period, plus indirect costs as appropriate,
is offered. The CDMRP expects to allot approximately $8M of the
$150M FY09 BCRP appropriation to fund approximately 25 Postdoctoral
Fellowship applicants, depending on the quality and number of
proposals received.</div>
