Researchers affiliated with for-profit and non-profit institutions in New York are welcome to apply.

Since 2003, the coalition has annually awarded grants to fund innovative projects with the potential to yield significant medical breakthroughs in the cause and prevention of breast cancer, prevention of metastasis and cure.

To date, the coalition has awarded $1.1 million in funds for breast cancer research.

The coalition's research initiative is the only one of its kind in New York, with a Research Advisory Board comprised of researchers, scientists, clinicians and survivor advocates.

"This initiative is a groundbreaking effort fueled by locally raised funds to support regional research, amplifying the patient's voice through trained survivor advocates who actively participate in the decision-making process," said Christina Thompson, executive director of the Breast Cancer Coalition.
