DoW Breast Cancer, Era of Hope Scholar Award
Grant Opportunity Analysis
The Department of the Army’s USAMRAA is offering the FY26 Breast Cancer Research Program Era of Hope Scholar Award to support an early-career scientist with strong potential to advance breast cancer research. The award is intended to recognize creative, innovative investigators rather than a specific project, and the work must address at least one FY26 BCRP overarching challenge or justify an exception while including at least two breast cancer consumer advocates on the research team. The principal investigator must be an independent investigator within six years of the last training position and commit at least 25% effort to breast cancer research, with review including a two-tier process and an invited oral presentation. The program seeks to fund one award with up to $4.9 million over four years; the pre-application is due June 24, 2026, the full application is due July 8, 2026, and submission requires SAM.gov, eBRAP.org, and Grants.gov registration, with the eBRAP Help Desk available at help@eBRAP.org or 301-682-5507.
