Advocacy in Action: The DOD Breast Cancer Research Program
By National Breast Cancer Coalition | September 2, 2021
At first glance, the Department of Defense and breast cancer research might not seem like an easy or natural fit.
And that’s just how the National Breast Cancer Coalition (NBCC) would have it. NBCC is an organization that pushes against the status quo, so finding innovative solutions to complicated problems is a hallmark of their work. The Department of Defense Breast Cancer Research Program (DOD BCRP) is an example of how NBCC advocates pushed boundaries to pursue critical research funding and changes to the system of research that incorporate advocates and support meaningful results.
