Canadian Breast Cancer Research Alliance (CBCRA)

In 1998, the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation joined the Canadian Breast Cancer Research Alliance (CBCRA) - a unique coalition of public, private and non-profit organizations funding breast cancer research in Canada. Through pooled resources, CBCRA allocates funding to a broad spectrum of breast cancer research, including prevention, early detection, treatment, quality of life, health services and fundamental laboratory investigations.
