Breast Cancer
Center of Excellence Awards
A pioneering, multi-institutional approach to eradicating breast cancer
The Breast Cancer Center of Excellence Award mechanism was established to encourage the formation of multidisciplinary, multi-institutional research programs that bring exceptional scientists, clinicians, and consumer advocates together to investigate an overarching research problem in breast cancer. Since 2001 the BCRP has funded 16 Centers totaling $136.9 Million.
