Description
The California Breast Cancer Research Program (CBCRP) Fellowship Awards, administered by the University of California, are designed to sustain and advance the careers of early-stage researchers committed to breast cancer research. The program provides three fellowship mechanisms—Bridge Funding for Fellows, Predoctoral Fellowships, and Postdoctoral Fellowships—each supporting researchers at pivotal training stages. All research must be conducted at California institutions and align with CBCRP’s priority areas, which include breast cancer biology, prevention, detection, treatment, health disparities, and community impact. The program aims to address gaps in federal funding, foster a robust pipeline of breast cancer investigators, and support innovative, impactful research relevant to California’s diverse populations.
