The Dr. Susan Love Foundation for Breast Cancer Research has developed a Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC), which is comprised of both scientists and breast cancer advocates. Members of the Committee review all study proposals to determine if the project is ethical, safe in its design, and feasible for the Love Research Army participants, as well as serve as spokespeople and advocates for the Love Research Army.
If you are interested in joining the Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC), please click here to submit an application, and a staff member from the Foundation will contact you once the application has been reviewed.
