Innovative, Developmental, and Exploratory Awards (IDEA) Supporting speculative, exploratory, high-risk/high-reward projects with a primary focus on breast cancer. Research Requirements: Applications for this award type should challenge existing paradigms, represent a new direction for the PI and encourage innovation by the incorporation of techniques and approaches not yet well represented in mainstream breast cancer research.

Examples of research not responsive to the IDEA are projects that: Propose incremental advances for the underlying topic, Duplicate the aims of completed or funded research to the PI derived from non-breast cancer studies without incorporating detailed breast cancer-specific justification, Overlap in topic and aims with current grant support to the applicant or Represent portions of existing grants or are derived from larger, R01-type projects.
