PBT-DR grants are intended to establish or sustain a

training program headed by a mentor(s) to provide

pre-masters or pre-doctoral students with the analytic,

research, scientific, clinical and/or public health skills.

These skills are critical to effectively explore the basis

for differences in breast cancer outcomes and

translate research discoveries into clinical and public

health practice. PBT-DR grants have the ultimate goal

to eliminate disparities in breast cancer outcomes

across population groups.
