Description
The Advanced Clinical Research Award (ACRA) in Breast Cancer is administered by Conquer Cancer, the ASCO Foundation. It supports independent mid-career investigators conducting original breast cancer research that is not currently funded. Studies must take place at an academic medical research institution, and applications are accepted from physicians in the United States and internationally.
The program funds hypothesis-driven clinical research and/or translational research involving human subjects. Relevant work includes clinical biology, natural history, prevention, screening, diagnosis, therapy, and epidemiology of cancer. Proposals must be patient-oriented, reflect the needs of patients with cancer, and be developed with a patient advocate. Projects need clearly defined, measurable outcomes and a realistic timeline for completion within the three-year award term.
