Postdoctoral Fellowship Grants – Basic and Translational (PDF-Basic and Translational) seek to attract and support promising scientists who are embarking on careers dedicated to breast cancer research. By providing funding to outstanding postdoctoral/postgraduate fellows under the guidance of a mentor, Komen seeks to ensure that a diverse pool of highly trained scientists will emerge as the next generation of leaders in the field of breast cancer research. These leaders will play key roles in reducing breast cancer incidence and mortality, with the ultimate goal of ending breast cancer forever. PDF-Basic and Translational Research Grants provide support for basic research projects that have significant potential to advance our understanding of breast cancer, lead to reductions in breast cancer incidence and/or mortality, and move us toward the goal of a world without breast cancer. Studies focusing on quality of life or survivorship issues are not appropriate for this mechanism. This award mechanism is appropriate for both basic (i.e. PhD) or clinical (i.e. MD) fellows proposing research projects that are laboratory- or field- based and do not meet Komen’s definition of clinical research. A clinical trial or study in conjunction with a clinician is acceptable as a part of the proposed laboratory research focus.
