CCDR grants seek to foster independent careers in research exploring the basis for differences in breast cancer outcomes and the translation of this research into clinical and public health practice interventions, particularly among junior scientists from populations affected by breast cancer disparities. Disparities research of particular interest in this funding year must be in one of these focus areas: the study of biologic determinants of disparities in breast cancer outcomes; models of clinical care that address the causes of disparities in care and outcomes across population groups; and public health interventions that specifically address the provision of health care services in community settings and associated factors contributing to disparities in breast cancer care and outcomes. All proposed research must have significant potential to lead to reductions in disparities in breast cancer incidence and/or mortality.
