I submitted an application through my work with the UCSF Breast Cancer Spore and got accepted.

I'll be reviewing on June 20-22 in DC. Anyone else going there for this session? If so, I'd love to meet in person.

Congratulations !!!

We have had other members accepted into the program previously..even had 1 called back for a second term !!

I did make one letter of recommendation recently but the DoD hasn't notified me of the status of the application.

The Dod will require more reviewers as I understand they received additional grant money through the stimulus program.

I will recommend anyone from our organization who applies !!

I understand that this is a very worthwhile experience.

Thanks! I'm looking forward to it and hope to contribute to advancing research in any way I can.

Hi there-

Joe, I am so sorry I did not follow up with you and Christine. I leave on Wednesday for 3 days in DC. I will let you all know how it goes. I have been very busy reading all the proposals in preperation for the meetings. It is all FACINATING to me.

I have been very verbal about what HER2Support.org and all of you have meant to my mental health throughout my journey......and how important this site is to me.

Thank you!!

Maureen

Maureen,
In the past, the DoD would write me a letter to confirm your acceptance.

Congratulations, I am sure that you will have a rewarding experience. Washington this thime of year is great..if you have allergies though, bring medicine.

Joe

Hi Joe,

I actually live in DC and would be interested in finding out more information about the program. I work full time, but I could make arrangements with enough notice.

Thank you so much,
Missy

Hi Joe~

I am going to the same May session as Maureen. My second year running and it is a wonderful and exciting experience!

Re: Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs
 

I put this on the back burner over a year ago when I had to change up treatment, but now I really want to do it... Joe, can you nominate me and write a letter again?

Thanks! Tell me what I need to do on my end...
