Description
The California Breast Cancer Research Program (CBCRP) Fellowship Awards, administered by the University of California, are designed to support early-career researchers at various training stages who are pursuing careers in breast cancer research. These fellowships are part of CBCRP’s annual investigator-initiated funding opportunities, aiming to foster and sustain research careers focused on breast cancer. The program offers three mechanisms: Bridge Funding for Fellows (for those whose federal fellowships have been rescinded), Predoctoral Fellowships, and Postdoctoral Fellowships. All research must be conducted at California institutions and align with CBCRP’s priority issues in breast cancer research.
