1998 Scientific Review Committees

The research grants in this Compendium were initially reviewed and scored for scientific merit and other criteria in 5 separate peer Review Committees. The Committees consisted of distinct types of reviewers, and they met in study sections that followed established practice at the NIH. The applications submitted under the Etiology and Prevention priority issues were reviewed in a single committee, and some of the applications submitted under the Pathogenesis priority issue were reviewed in the Basic Breast Biology committee.

The Chair leads the review process and is a senior researcher in breast cancer areas associated with the Committee’s central topic or priority issue. Committee Members have broad expertise in topics associated with individual applications. Three Members are assigned to review each BCRP application, and they prepare a detailed written critique and contribute to the Committee discussion. Breast cancer Advocate Reviewers are women living with the disease, and they bring their personal experiences to the review process. Often, the Advocates have specialized training in grant review and have served on prior review committees. The California Advocate Observer is not assigned applications for review and does not vote, but represents the California advocacy community to gain insight and provide feedback to the Program. Ad Hoc Members participate by teleconference and bring their specialized expertise into the review of individual applications.

The BCRP wishes to thank the participants in our 1998 Review Committees for their service and dedication to our Program.
