Funded research

With each cycle of grant awards, we take another step toward our mission: to eliminate breast cancer by leading innovative research, communication, and collaboration in the California scientific and lay communities.

In 2024, the California Breast Cancer Research Program granted over $9 million in research awards that will advance our knowledge about the prevention, detection, treatment and community impact of breast cancer. These awards included grants supported entirely or in part by Californians who contributed to the California Breast Cancer Research Fund on their income tax form. The projects they supported are:

Financial Navigation to Address Financial Toxicity among Latinas with Breast Cancer
Michelle AVila and Eunjeong Ko, Kern County Cancer Foundation and San Diego State University Research Foundation
AI-Driven Advancements in Mammography: Assessing Efficiency and Burnout to Enhance Patient Care
Joann Elmore, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA
Identifying Pathogen Exposures that Ignite Breast Cancer Risk and Lethality
Daniel Hollern, Salk Institute for Biological Studies
