Request for Applications for Pilot Projects: Earlier.org - Friends for an Earlier Breast Cancer Test The current grant application deadline is December 1, 2014.

Since its inception in 1995, Friends has awarded over $3.5 million in seed grants to qualifying projects. We continue to offer several grants to be used for pilot projects in the area of early breast cancer detection. We award up to $40,000 over a 1-3 year period. We are requesting applications for pilot projects that focus on new methods to improve detection of early breast cancer and are especially interested in the development of new techniques in the areas of biological or immunologic methods of early detection. It is our hope that pilot projects will provide preliminary data that leads to applications for more substantial peer-reviewed funding. Applications are accepted from both established investigators who have funding but want to embark on a new area, as well as those less experienced. In either case, the proposal should represent a new approach to the area of interest.
