Preventing Breast Cancer the Focus of 2009-2010 Susan G. Komen for the Cure Promise Grants

In order to be considered for funding, researchers must be able to prove their prevention approach is worthwhile and must start testing it on humans before the five-year grant expires. The grants are aimed especially at novel approaches to breast cancer prevention. Grant applicants should also describe how their findings from early phase trials will lead to more advanced testing and ultimately to a prevention for breast cancer.
