Susan G. Komen for the Cure, under the guidance of its Scientific
Advisory Board, is re-evaluating its training grants mechanisms. While
we are confident this is a positive step that will result in a more
robust and competitive program, we are also aware that you may have
concerns and questions about funding for fellowships that would begin
in mid-2009.
Due to the complexities and time required to examine
a program such as this, the decision has been made to suspend the
Interdisciplinary Breast Fellowship award for at least the current
year. Additionally, no program renewal offers will be extended at this
time.
NOTE REGARDING OTHER GRANTING OPPORTUNITIES
Komen
is currently accepting applications for its Post-Baccalaureate Training
in Disparities Research grant and we will be releasing a Postdoctoral
Fellowship RFA early fall 2008.
For the most up-to-date
information on the Komen grants program, please go to
www.komen.org/grants where you can view all current, open
opportunities. If you have additional questions regarding the current
RFA's, feel free to contact Kendall Bergman at kbergman@komen.org.
