The Helen Hay Whitney Foundation supports early postdoctoral research training in all basic biomedical sciences. To attain its ultimate goal of increasing the number of imaginative, well-trained and dedicated medical scientists, the Foundation grants financial support of sufficient duration to help further the careers of young men and women engaged in biological or medical research. Candidates who hold, or are in the final stages of obtaining a Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent degree and are seeking beginning postdoctoral training in basic biomedical research are eligible to apply for a fellowship.

Komen has released two RFAs to attract researchers to the study of population disparities in breast cancer and to increase important skills and expertise to design and conduct research that will begin to address the causes of and remedies for breast cancer disparities across population groups. These RFAs are now available. PBF-DR grants seek to attract individuals from populations affected by disparities in breast cancer outcomes into careers seeking to understand and eliminate these disparities; provide the tools and environment in which students very early in their career can begin to define meaningful career paths focused on addressing disparities in breast cancer; and empower these students with the analytic, research, scientific, clinical, and public health skills critical to effectively exploring the basis for differences in breast cancer outcomes and translating research discoveries into clinical and public health practice to eliminate disparities in breast cancer outcomes.

These RFAs are now available.CC-DR 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.
