We invite you to submit your nomination for the 2009-2010 Brinker Award for Scientific Distinction. Established by Susan G. Komen for the Cure® in 1992, our Brinker Award for Scientific Distinction recognizes leading scientists for their lifetime achievements in advancing research concepts and for clinical application in the fields of breast cancer research, screening or treatment. These awards are presented to basic and clinical researchers who have made seminal advances in the fight to save lives and end breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality care for all and energizing science to find the cures.
The Brinker Award for Scientific Distinction is given in two categories.
The Basic Science award is presented to a researcher who has added substantively to our understanding of the basic biology of, or development of, methodologies that further our ability to unravel the genetic and molecular basis of breast cancer.
The Clinical Research award is presented to a clinician who has significantly furthered the identification of new prevention, detection or treatment approaches for breast cancer and its translation into clinical care.
The Brinker Award has grown in prominence in the breast cancer community and is a marquee award for Komen.
