Research Grants in Breast Cancer

Komen’s Research Program plays a critical role in energizing science to find the cures by funding the discoveries, individuals, and resources essential to ending breast cancer. Since 1982, the Program has invested over $300 million to support breast cancer research, and recently awarded $55 million to fund research projects in 2010.

Komen supports research and training through many different types of grants and awards, each designed to meet specific objectives and to optimize outcomes. The 2010-2011 Research Program and its portfolio of Requests for Applications (RFA) continue Komen’s strategic focus on reducing breast cancer incidence and/or mortality within the decade.Komen also continues our special interest in discoveries that will help address disparities in breast cancer outcomes across populations.

As the global leader in the fight against breast cancer, we strive to identify the best science around the world.  We are proud to currently fund research in 18 countries.   Applications are welcome from investigators anywhere across the globe.
