WILMINGTON, DE (August 9, 2011)—Two staff members of the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition (DBCC), Kelly Kershaw and Caitlin Dalik, both of the Wilmington office, have graduated from the National Breast Cancer Coalition (NBCC) Project LEAD Institute. Kershaw and Dalik participated in the course on July 17-22, 2011 in La Jolla, California. The course enrolled 50 breast cancer advocates from all over the country. The Project LEAD Institute is an intensive 6-day course which trains breast cancer advocates in the science of breast cancer so that they can better understand and analyze breast cancer research and policy. The course included lessons on the language and concepts of cancer biology, basic epidemiology, research methodology, and more. Several other DBCC Staff members have also completed the course.
