Description
The BCRP Era of Hope Scholar Award mechanism was first offered in FY04. Since that time, 133 Era of Hope Scholar Award proposals have been received and 27 have been recommended for funding. The Era of Hope Scholar Award supports individuals who have high potential for innovation in breast cancer research early in their careers. Nominees for this award should be
exceptionally talented, early-career scientists who have demonstrated that they are the “best and brightest” in their field(s) through extraordinary creativity, vision, and productivity. They also should exhibit strong potential for leadership in the breast cancer research community and be able to articulate a vision for the eradication of breast cancer. These individuals should challenge current dogma and demonstrate an ability to look beyond tradition and convention.
The Era of Hope Scholar Award application must focus on the Principal Investigator’s (PI) record of creative and original accomplishments, potential for leadership in the breast cancer research community, and vision for eradicating breast cancer. These aspects of the application will receive greater emphasis in the review process than the proposed research project, although the proposed research project also will be considered.
Experience in breast cancer research is not required; however, the application should focus on breast cancer research, and the PI must commit at least 50% of his/her full-time professional effort during the award period to breast cancer research.
