Established by Susan G. Komen for the Cure® in 1992, the Brinker Award for Scientific Distinction is a marquee award that energizes the science of breast cancer research and treatment. The Brinker Award recognizes leading scientists for their significant achievements and contributions in basic and translational science and clinical practice that have advanced the fight to save lives and realize our vision of a world without breast cancer.
The Brinker Award for Scientific Distinction is given annually in two categories.
The Basic Science Award is presented to a researcher who has added substantively to our understanding of breast cancer by illuminating the basic biology or developing methodologies that further our ability to unravel the intrinsic molecular processes that drive the disease.
The Clinical Research Award is presented to a clinician who has advanced the identification of new prevention, detection or treatment approaches for breast cancer and promoted their translation into clinical care.
The Brinker Award has grown in prominence in the breast cancer community and is a marquee award for Komen.
