Grants Categories
- Screening, Treatment and Education Program (STEP) grants are made for up to $75,000 and are projects geared toward the outreach, screening, treatment and program needs related to breast cancer.
- Clinical Research Affiliate Funded Trials (CRAFT) grants are made for up to $75,000 each year for two years and help address the need for more funding directed towards clinical trials at the local level. Most CRAFT grant awards are to support a clinical research nurse to increase accrual of patients into breast cancer clinical trials.
- Make a Difference (MAD) grants for Baltimore City and Western Maryland are available for up to $100,000 each year for two years. MAD proposals MUST provide a continuum of services, from outreach to screening to follow up. Prior to submission, prospective applicants must discuss their program idea with the Grants and Education Program Manager at Komen Maryland at 410-938-8990.
- Small grants of up to $10,000 are available year round. These grants are intended to be responsive to the breast health community. Contact 410-938-8990 to find out more. Due to the economic climate, small grants will be made only to screening programs in Fiscal Year 2010.
