The California Breast Cancer Research Program (CBCRP) Postdoctoral Fellowships are designed to support early-career researchers at California institutions who are pursuing impactful breast cancer research. These fellowships provide up to two years of funding, mentorship by established breast cancer scientists, and professional development opportunities. CBCRP prioritizes research that addresses its strategic focus areas, including environmental contributors to breast cancer, health disparities, and population-level prevention. The program aims to advance the next generation of breast cancer researchers and encourages applicants from groups historically underrepresented in the field or whose research addresses California-specific breast cancer issues.
