IIR Grants seek to stimulate exploration of important issues and novel approaches that will lead to reductions in breast cancer incidence and/or mortality within the next decade. All proposed research must have significant potential to lead to reductions in breast cancer incidence and/or mortality within the next decade. Research of interest in this funding year must be in one of these focus areas: breast cancer biology; genetics; molecular/genetic epidemiology; prevention; detection; risk assessment; biomarkers of risk, disease burden, and/or treatment response or resistance; novel therapeutics; lifestyle interventions with the potential to affect disease outcomes (e.g., incidence and/or mortality); and novel approaches that enhance understanding of the breast cancer disease process.
