It aims to advance original breast cancer studies at academic research institutions, encouraging both U.S. and international applicants. The ACRA includes a competitive review process by an independent committee, ensuring only high-quality proposals receive funding. This initiative is vital for fostering new insights and approaches in breast cancer treatment and care.

However, all fundable applications will receive Conquer Cancer research grants. In no case will an application not deemed fundable in the initial review process receive a Conquer Cancer research grant.
