Appendix
Expert committees review for scientific merit all research applications submitted to the CBCRP. To minimize conflicts of interest, review committees are composed of experts from outside California. These experts include scientists highly knowledgeable about the broad topic of the applications they consider. Each review committee also has advocate reviewers. These are women and men active in breast cancer advocacy organizations, many of them also living with the disease. The review committees for 2010 are listed below.
