”As a metastatic breast cancer patient undergoing treatment, I intimately know that patients and research are in a marathon. The record speed in the development of the COVID-19 vaccine came from the groundwork of past research. Other diseases demand similar critical attention and research. We have supported NFCR since 1999. We appreciate that their national position promotes a thoughtful continuum where feedback loops from across the country to inform research, coordination, and collaboration. NFCR helps break down the silos that stifle research.“
