Grants

Since 1982, Susan G. Komen for the Cure has funded basic, clinical and translational breast cancer research and innovative projects in the areas of breast health education and breast cancer screening and treatment.

All research grant applications are reviewed by a peer-review system of experts in the field of breast cancer and a group of qualified breast cancer advocates. Those applications identified for funding are selected based on their scientific merit and their potential to have an impact on breast cancer.

In addition to funding research, Komen and its Domestic Affiliate Network fund non-duplicative, community-based grants that focus on breast health education and breast cancer screening and treatment projects for the medically underserved.
