Please note: If we are unable to raise the full $75K needed for an individual CCP project, the funds raised for that project will either go to that same researcher’s other projects or to another Brigham and Women’s faculty member working in the same area – ie, support for breast cancer prevention research will go to other breast cancer prevention research being done at the hospital.
