The Research Professorship provides funding to full professors who have made significant contributions to cancer research and are dedicated to mentoring the next generation of researchers.
The Research Professorship is a five-year grant totaling $500,000. The award is not designed to cover the total cost of a research project or the investigator’s entire compensation, but can be used at the discretion of the awardee to support their overall research activities. Conquer Cancer has awarded the Research Professorship in the following areas:
- Comparative Effectiveness Research in Breast Cancer
- Drug Development
- Translational Research
Awards are given based on individual merit and availability of funds. For 2020, Conquer Cancer has funding for one award with a focus on breast cancer disparities.
