Funded research

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

In 2025, the California Breast Cancer Research Program granted over $10 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:

A Pilot Air Quality Intervention in California Nail Salons
Paula Johnson and Mary Nguyen, Public Health Institute and Center for Empowered Politics Education Fund
Lost in Transition: Primary Care Access and Continuity for Long-Term Breast Cancer Survivors
Cody Ramin and Jennifer Henry, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and Links for Life, Inc.
Intranasal Delivery of NEO212 to Radio-Sensitize and Eliminate Brain Metastases of Breast Cancer
Axel Schonthal, Stanford University
