BRCA Funding Opportunity |

Volume 59, No. 19 |
The Basser Research Center for BRCA at Penn’s Abramson Cancer Center announces the availability of funding for University of Pennsylvania faculty members through two mechanisms:
- Basser Stars Pilot Program for Junior Faculty (within five years of end of training)
- Basser Research Center Grants for All Faculty
Reflecting the Center’s mission to use cutting edge research in basic and clinical sciences to advance the care of individuals living with BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations, both types of grants are focused on innovative cancer research projects. Investigators who have already received peer-reviewed funding for their proposed projects will not be eligible for this award. The Basser Stars Pilot program is aimed at young investigators to support their work as they plan submission for national peer-reviewed grant funding.
The scientific objective of the Basser Research Center for BRCA includes the funding of research projects related to BRCA1/2 ranging from basic science, prevention, early detection and targeted therapeutics to survivorship and communication. Collaborative projects are strongly encouraged. Please note the science must have relevance to the study of BRCA1/2 to be considered.
The award period for the Basser Research Center for BRCA grants is for one year—July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014. The application deadline is March 1, 2013. For more information, visit the Center’s website at www.penncancer.org/basser/grants or contact Beth Stearman, administrative director at stearman@mail.med.upenn.edu |
