What does the end of breast cancer look like to our researchers?
For those touched by breast cancer, it might be hard to envision an end to this disease. But thanks to the progress that’s being made through research each and every day, we’re discovering new methods of detecting cancer at an early stage and developing personalizing medicines tailored to the individual and her or his breast cancer.

For those touched by breast cancer, it might be hard to envision an end to this disease. But thanks to the progress that’s being made through research each and every day, we’re discovering new methods of detecting cancer at an early stage and developing personalizing medicines tailored to the individual and her or his breast cancer.

While many challenges remain, we have made enormous gains in the treatment of breast cancer and have developed strategies for prevention—and we know that, with research, more is within our reach.

Our mission is to prevent and cure breast cancer by advancing the world's most promising research. 
Breast cancer knows no age, gender or race. As the most common cancer in women worldwide, it remains a fact of life. Approximately 2.3 million women around the globe were diagnosed in 2021, and incidence rates are on the rise.

Our mission is to prevent and cure breast cancer by advancing the world's most promising research.

Breast cancer knows no age, gender or race. As the most common cancer in women worldwide, it remains a fact of life. Approximately 2.3 million women around the globe were diagnosed in 2021, and incidence rates are on the rise.

That’s because breast cancer has no boundaries. It is the leading cause of cancer death in the world’s poorest countries and the second leading cause of cancer death in American women. The developing world is experiencing higher mortality rates than ever before due to a lack of screening and access to treatment, and we are seeing disparities right here at home as social and economic factors create barriers to proper diagnosis and care.

We want to put an end to breast cancer. Our goal: No more fear. No more hospital visits. No more side effects or needless suffering. No more loved ones lost to breast cancer.

The only way to achieve this goal is through research. Research is revolutionizing our understanding of cancer. Research is leading us to the core of this insidious disease. Research is transforming lives every day as women and men get the help they need.

We believe research—and research alone—has the power to bring an end to cancer. We know what needs to be done, and we have 255 researchers urgently working on solutions to one of the world’s greatest problems.

Until the number of deaths from breast cancer is zero, we will not stop. Join us, and help fuel the research of tomorrow needed to save lives today. Everyone can be part of the solution. We are all part of the cure.

The end of cancer begins with you.

Grant Guidelines  | Breast Cancer Research Foundation | BCRF

# data[].attributes.metatag_normalized[].attributes.content
Our grant invitation and review process involves a rigorous assessment and examination of creative new directions in clinical and translational breast cancer research in need of seed funding. Our unique approach allows the Scientific Advisory Board to use their expertise and knowledge to seek out investigators whose thinking has demonstrated the potential to advance the prevention, understanding and treatment of breast cancer towards our goal of prevention and cure.

Our grant invitation and review process involves a rigorous assessment and examination of creative new directions in clinical and translational breast cancer research in need of seed funding. Our unique approach allows the Scientific Advisory Board to use their expertise and knowledge to seek out investigators whose thinking has demonstrated the potential to advance the prevention, understanding and treatment of breast cancer towards our goal of prevention and cure. The Scientific Advisors invite proposals in late spring and review proposals in the summer. Unsolicited requests for funding are discouraged.

For invited proposals, we request a brief project narrative, a lay summary suitable for public use, an annual budget (typically for no more than $250,000 with a maximum of 20 percent in indirect costs) and a budget narrative.

Considerable latitude is given to investigators and creative collaborations are encouraged. Both BCRF’s Board of Directors and the Scientific Advisors agree that some of the most important advances in understanding the disease will occur by enabling brilliant minds to pursue their biggest and brightest ideas.

Grants are awarded on an annual basis for the period, October 1 to September 30. Review of the invited proposals begins in June and funding decisions are announced to the applicants and their institutions in August following approval by BCRF’s Board of Directors. Awards are publicly announced on October 1.

The awards are paid in two installments, in early October and early March and all grantees are required to submit an annual progress report and a final financial report following the close of the grant year.

Grants are generally awarded for one year, but may be invited for renewal pending satisfactory progress, continued need and fit within BCRF’s overall research portfolio.

npj Breast Cancer Achieves New Milestone

# data[].attributes.body.value
We are excited to announce that in January, npj Breast Cancer passed the Scientific Quality Review by the National Library of Medicine for inclusion in PubMed Central, marking a critical milestone in indexing and impact factor evaluation. The Journal is now in the technical part of the evaluation process which is expected to be completed by early spring to be fully included in PMC. All articles published prior to PMC indexing will automatically be indexed.

“The success of npj Breast Cancer is a direct reflection of the time and energy that Dr. Larry Norton, Editor-in-Chief, the Associate Editors, and BCRF staff have put into the journal, which has seen 102 submissions and 41 publications to date with more in the pipeline.”

– Andrea Macaluso, Director, Outreach and Partnerships, North America & Publisher, Nature Partner Journals.

In November 2014, BCRF and Nature Research announced an exciting new collaboration as part of the Nature Partner Journals portfolio of online scientific journals. npj Breast Cancer, co-branded by BCRF and Nature Research, is an open access, online-only, multidisciplinary research journal dedicated to publishing the finest in breast cancer research.

The vision and goal of the npj Breast Cancer were to create a forum for scientific discourse that reflected BCRF’s philosophy of collaboration and community. As such it was important to welcome discovery and hypothesis-generating research and negative findings–articles that are rarely accepted in mainstream scientific press– along with rigorous peer-reviewed original research, meeting reports, commentary, perspectives and invited expert reviews. Read more about npj Breast Cancer aims and scope.

As with any new journal launch, one of the most important milestones is establishing an index factor that will attract the highest quality content from leaders in the field. That process requires a journal to be indexed on PubMed Central (PMC) and other scientific directories to ensure high visibility and citations of published work.  The challenge during the startup period is to attract the high quality content required to achieve eligibility for indexing.

To meet these goals, BCRF reached out to our grantee community to submit articles and to serve in an editorial capacity for the journal. Our staff promoted the journal at scientific conferences to solicit submissions. BCRF thanks all our investigators who submitted their articles and/or served as a reviewer.

Nature Research further encouraged submissions by reducing the Article Processing Charge (APC). The processing charge for original research was reduced from $4,000 to $2,800 for the general population and was further reduced to $2,000 for BCRF investigators.  The  APC for all other article types (unsolicited reviews, perspectives, brief communications, editorials, meeting reports, etc.) is $1,378. Further, invited reviews are always free to publish. Click here for the full guide to authors.

Efforts are ongoing to add the Journal to the following indexes: Web of Science / Science Citation Index (ISI), Emerging Science Citation Index (ESCI)– a new service from Thomson Reuters and PubMed/Medline.

Read these recent npj Breast Cancer articles on breaking research on p53 from BCRF investigators.

Identification, validation, and targeting of the mutant p53-PARP-MCM chromatin axis in triple negative breast cancer , Jill Bargonetti and colleagues.

A functionally significant SNP in TP53 and breast cancer risk in African-American women, Christine Ambrosone, Chi-Chen Hong, and colleagues.

The Breast Cancer Research Foundation is a nonprofit organization committed to achieving prevention and a cure for breast cancer. We provide critical funding for cancer research worldwide to fuel advances in tumor biology, genetics, prevention, treatment, metastasis and survivorship.

Since our founding in 1993 by Evelyn H. Lauder, BCRF has raised more than half a billion dollars for lifesaving research. Through a unique and streamlined grants program, we seek out the brightest minds in science and medicine and give them the necessary resources to pursue their best ideas. As a result, researchers are able to make discoveries and design new approaches to address all aspects of breast cancer—and do so in record time.

“Our goal is to accelerate the breakthroughs bringing us closer to a cure to speed up the progress that will improve survivorship and quality of life for breast cancer patients today.” – Myra J. Biblowit, President & CEO

In 2020-2021, BCRF will award $40 million in annual grants to 275 scientists from top universities and medical institutions around the globe. In addition, BCRF has established the Evelyn H. Lauder Founder’s Fund, a multi-year international program dedicated to metastasis that is the first large-scale global effort to unravel the biology of metastasis, with $31 million earmarked to date. It is the largest privately funded project exclusively focused on metastasis in the world. But we still have more to do.

The thousands of women and men suffering from breast cancer today depend on us. No institution can conquer this disease alone. Together, we can.

$5 million and seven projects focused on preventing life-threatening breast cancers

Breast cancer mortality is at its lowest level in 30 years. This progress has largely been fueled by advances in early detection and treatment. In contrast, our approach to cancer prevention has not progressed at nearly the same rate, as illustrated by the steady rates of breast cancer incidence over the same period. BCRF embarked on a bold new initiative in 2019 to apply the principles of precision medicine to prevention research to address this underfunded area of research. With an initial $5 million investment by Blizzard Entertainment, the Precision Prevention Initiative (PPI) challenges the research community to take a new look at prevention research.

“We envision a future where doctors customize a prevention plan based on an individual patient’s biology, history and lifestyle—to stop cancer before it starts,” said Dr. Dorraya El-Ashry, BCRF’s chief scientific officer.

The Precision Prevention Initiative (PPI) was conceived out of this vision. The overarching goal of this multiyear program is to fuel innovation by challenging the research community to think big—to explore new emerging technologies and multidisciplinary approaches that get answers in less time, to identify new ways of examining data, and to build or enhance infrastructure, resources and technologies that accelerate breast cancer prevention research for years to come.

“There is an enormous opportunity for multidisciplinary research in breast cancer prevention,” said Dr. Judy Garber, BCRF’s scientific director. “Just as emerging technologies are transforming precision medicine, this new initiative is capitalizing on these new techniques and discoveries to reduce the incidence of breast cancer with all possible speed.”

BCRF’s 2019-20 PPI awards specifically focus on prevention of aggressive breast cancers—those most likely to be lethal—such as triple-negative and BRCA-driven breast cancers. Collectively, they will improve our understanding of the underlying biology of aggressive breast cancers and will help identify individuals who are at increased risk of a life-threatening breast cancer diagnosis. In this first phase of the PPI, BCRF offered both multi-year awards and one-year pilot studies.

Meet the PPI Investigators and Their Projects

Multi-year projects

A mammogram only tells part of the story. Dr. Constance Lehman and her colleagues will harness the power of artificial intelligence and machine learning to uncover hidden clues in mammograms. They will couple this technology with a rich source of patient data to develop a precise risk assessment model that identifies those at risk of developing any type of breast cancer, including the most aggressive.

Risk stratification is the start of the road map to breast cancer prevention. We have a detailed understanding of certain genetic and non-genetic risk factors that are helpful in predicting breast cancer in general. But there is less information to predict the most dangerous kind of breast cancer, known as triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Dr. Mark Robson and his colleagues are using imaging-coupled artificial intelligence and machine learning to identify features of normal breast tissue that are associated with TNBC. This information will be used to develop a TNBC-specific Risk Score that Dr. Robson's team plans to test in women newly diagnosed with TNBC. Read about Dr. Robson's other BCRF-supported research here.

TNBC is an aggressive breast cancer with limited treatment options, making prevention of TNBC a priority of the PPI. Dr. Robert West will leverage an existing database of premalignant lesions to develop a genomic atlas of TNBC. His goal is to identify  genomic and cellular factors driving progression of premalignancies to TNBC.  Findings could lead to a new class of targets or new strategies for prevention of this aggressive breast cancer.

Pilot projects

Breast feeding is known to protect against breast cancer. Dr. Doris Germain recently identified a key factor activated during lactation that plays a role in reducing breast cancer risk. Her PPI pilot project builds on this discovery with the goal of developing lactation replacement therapy as a personalized method of prevention. Watch this interview with Dr. Germain to learn more.

Women who carry a mutated BRCA gene have a high risk of breast cancer. BRCA-driven breast cancers are more likely to occur at a young age and can be very aggressive. However, not all BRCA mutations carriers will develop breast cancer. Dr. Harikrishna Nakshatri is studying the differences in normal breast cells in BRCA mutation carriers and non-carriers to identify biomarkers that may help predict the risk of breast cancer and inform early detection as well as non-invasive prevention strategies.

Antiestrogen therapies such as tamoxifen, aromatase inhibitors and fulvestrant are effective preventive medications for certain breast cancers, but they require long-term use and have side effects that make it difficult for some women to complete therapy. Additionally, they do not work to prevent ER-negative breast cancer. Alternatives to hormone-based chemoprevention will provide options to women at high of risk of developing breast cancer—and especially the aggressive forms that are not prevented by antiestrogens. Two PPI pilot studies are testing other potential drug targets for breast cancer prevention:

Dr. Yi Li has identified a target protein called BCL2 that plays a role in the early development of breast cancer. In his pilot PPI study, he will test drugs that block BCL2 to build a case for a larger study to test anti-BCL2 drugs for breast cancer prevention.

Dr. Marc Lippman's laboratory has been studying another protein called RAGE that is particularly abundant in aggressive breast cancers. In his PPI pilot study, his group is testing the role RAGE plays in the earliest phases of breast cancer development to determine whether it may be a suitable target for breast cancer prevention. Read more about Dr. Lippman's ongoing BCRF research here.

A mammogram only tells part of the story. Dr. Constance Lehman and her colleagues will harness the power of artificial intelligence and machine learning to uncover hidden clues in mammograms. They will couple this technology with a rich source of patient data to develop a precise risk assessment model that identifies those at risk of developing any type of breast cancer, including the most aggressive.

Risk stratification is the start of the road map to breast cancer prevention. We have a detailed understanding of certain genetic and non-genetic risk factors that are helpful in predicting breast cancer in general. But there is less information to predict the most dangerous kind of breast cancer, known as triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Dr. Mark Robson and his colleagues are using imaging-coupled artificial intelligence and machine learning to identify features of normal breast tissue that are associated with TNBC. This information will be used to develop a TNBC-specific Risk Score that Dr. Robson's team plans to test in women newly diagnosed with TNBC. Read about Dr. Robson's other BCRF-supported research here.

TNBC is an aggressive breast cancer with limited treatment options, making prevention of TNBC a priority of the PPI. Dr. Robert West will leverage an existing database of premalignant lesions to develop a genomic atlas of TNBC. His goal is to identify  genomic and cellular factors driving progression of premalignancies to TNBC.  Findings could lead to a new class of targets or new strategies for prevention of this aggressive breast cancer.

Pilot projects

Breast feeding is known to protect against breast cancer. Dr. Doris Germain recently identified a key factor activated during lactation that plays a role in reducing breast cancer risk. Her PPI pilot project builds on this discovery with the goal of developing lactation replacement therapy as a personalized method of prevention. Watch this interview with Dr. Germain to learn more.

Women who carry a mutated BRCA gene have a high risk of breast cancer. BRCA-driven breast cancers are more likely to occur at a young age and can be very aggressive. However, not all BRCA mutations carriers will develop breast cancer. Dr. Harikrishna Nakshatri is studying the differences in normal breast cells in BRCA mutation carriers and non-carriers to identify biomarkers that may help predict the risk of breast cancer and inform early detection as well as non-invasive prevention strategies.

Antiestrogen therapies such as tamoxifen, aromatase inhibitors and fulvestrant are effective preventive medications for certain breast cancers, but they require long-term use and have side effects that make it difficult for some women to complete therapy. Additionally, they do not work to prevent ER-negative breast cancer. Alternatives to hormone-based chemoprevention will provide options to women at high of risk of developing breast cancer—and especially the aggressive forms that are not prevented by antiestrogens. Two PPI pilot studies are testing other potential drug targets for breast cancer prevention:

Dr. Yi Li has identified a target protein called BCL2 that plays a role in the early development of breast cancer. In his pilot PPI study, he will test drugs that block BCL2 to build a case for a larger study to test anti-BCL2 drugs for breast cancer prevention.

Dr. Marc Lippman's laboratory has been studying another protein called RAGE that is particularly abundant in aggressive breast cancers. In his PPI pilot study, his group is testing the role RAGE plays in the earliest phases of breast cancer development to determine whether it may be a suitable target for breast cancer prevention.
