Description
The California Breast Cancer Research Program (CBCRP), administered by the University of California Office of the President’s Research Grants Program Office, offers fellowships to support the next generation of breast cancer researchers. The 2026–2027, Cycle 33 awards support doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers working with established breast cancer research mentors. They respond to gaps in research and training created by changes in federal research priorities, particularly affecting early-career scientists.
Projects must address one or more CBCRP priority issues. These encompass breast cancer’s community and social impacts; etiology, prevention, and risk reduction; breast cell biology and pathogenesis; and detection, prognosis, and treatment. The program aims to eliminate the burden of breast cancer in California through research, communication, and community-partnered initiatives focused on prevention, treatment, and survivorship.
