New Research Milestones Booklet 2008 launched
The Research Strategy Team is thrilled to announce the publication of the new Research Milestones 2008 booklet. This annual booklet reports on the distribution of NBCF funds across different research projects and highlights some of the exciting research developments across major areas of breast cancer research.
The 2008 booklet wears the message – “Doing breast cancer research costs a fortune – not doing it costs more”. NBCF cannot provide opportunities for funding Australia’s most talented researchers, nor make real advances in battling breast cancer, without the continued generosity of the Australian public and our corporate supporters. Research takes lots of time and money.
Research Milestones 2008 emphasizes the need for your continued support, as our researchers attack this aggressive disease head-on.
You can download the Research Milestones 2008 booklet below. We welcome your feedback on info@nbcf.org.au
