Apply for a Grant
All grants provided by Carol M. Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund of CNY, Inc. (CMBBCRF) are provided specifically for researchers in Central New York and specifically for the purpose of breast cancer research. When Carol first started her fight against breast cancer, there were already a number of organizations dedicated to early detection, awareness, education, and funding for mammograms. As a result of these efforts, people are now finding breast cancer sooner. Although this was a step forward, Carol was troubled by the fact that just as many men and women are getting breast cancer today as in the 1970¡¯s. She believes that it is important to get to the source of the problem and look for the cure and recognizes that finding a cure is impossible without research.
Each year, two to three grants in the amount of $50,000 are given to local breast cancer researchers. The money is to be used specifically for funding studies related to breast cancer research. No machinery, equipment, literature, etc. is funded by the grant. The design of the Grant is two part ¨C an initial $25,000 is given to the researcher and, after a successful one-year review, a second $25,000 is provided to the researcher.
A team of local breast cancer doctors review all applications and determine which studies to fund each year. It is the hope of the Carol M. Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund of CNY that results from promising studies will be used to apply for funding of large-scale research studies.
All local breast cancer researchers are encouraged to apply. Please contact us and we will mail you an application.
