Susan G. Komen: ASPIRE: A Supplement to Promote Inclusion for Research Excellence

Susan G. Funding Focus

Through our Research Program, Komen evaluates and invests in science and technology that will accelerate research discoveries to change the standard of breast cancer care and improve the delivery of that care.

ASPIRE: A Supplement to Promote Inclusion for Research Excellence

Despite progress in breast cancer research and patient care, not everyone is benefitting from the scientific advances and improvements in breast cancer care and outcomes. This new Susan G. Komen grant is intended to enhance the diversity of the breast cancer research workforce by providing established breast cancer scientists with supplemental funding to support research trainees from communities historically minoritized and marginalized in research. A breast cancer research workforce that represents the breast cancer community is one way to work towards health equity and better outcomes for all. By supporting these promising trainees early in their research careers, Komen seeks to ensure that a diverse group of highly trained scientists who reflect the communities we serve will emerge as the next generation of leaders in breast cancer research and end breast cancer forever.

Funding

Award amount: up to $100,000 per year to cover a trainee’s salary for one year or two years.
