Spaces and scholarships are still available for
Project LEAD Washington, DC! The course is
scheduled for November 2-6, 2005 and applications are due September 3rd!
Project LEAD (Leadership, Education and Advocacy
Development) trains advocates in the concepts and
language of the science of breast cancer. The
goal of the program is to give participants the
tools to serve as consumer advocates at every
level of the research and policy process. This
increase in knowledge and understanding of the
science of breast cancer serves to enhance
participants' effectiveness in community work as well.
Project LEAD is an intensive four-day course
focusing on the basic biology of breast cancer,
principles of genetics and genomics, the
relationship of DNA, RNA and proteins, critical
appraisals of scientific studies, epidemiologic
principles and study designs and training in
applying this knowledge to the research world.
There is no cost to attend this course; the
participant only pays for travel and
accommodations. A limited number of scholarships
are available to defray the cost of travel and accommodations.
If you are a breast cancer activist who is
interested in deepening your knowledge and skills
in the science and research arenas, I hope you
will consider applying. You can read more about
Project LEAD® and download the application at our
Web site, www.stopbreastcancer.org We encourage
you to take this next step in your advocacy education and training.
