The Fellowship Awards from the California Breast Cancer Research Program (CBCRP) are designed to support the next generation of breast cancer researchers in California. These awards provide funding for predoctoral and postdoctoral fellows, as well as short-term bridge funding for fellows whose federal support was unexpectedly terminated. The program aims to facilitate training, mentorship, and career development in breast cancer research, with a focus on projects that address CBCRP priority areas and California-specific needs.
