Congressionally Directed Medical Research Panel in need of breast cancer survivors
/advocates for this summer's upcoming breast cancer research panels. Someone on this board posted about this program and I decided to take the plunge and participate last year. It was by far the best breast cancer related experience for me. So full of hope, actually evaluating research proposals from the perspective of a breast cancer survivor. They need more participants, especially for an upcoming May panel. If you are interested, please check out the website:

The basics: ~two weeks of work at home, you are paid a stipend, expenses paid for flight, hotel and meals for a 3 day session in DC.
If anyone would like more info or a short cut to the paperwork, please pm me your email address. You need to be nominated by a breast cancer group/organization. (I am sure Joe and Christine could help  )
