Collaborations
Our primary mechanism for sharing BCFR data and/or biospecimens is to conduct collaborative multinational, interdisciplinary and translational studies organized through the BCFR. This page includes resources for applying for collaboration with the BCFR. To learn more about the BCFR’s broad data sharing through NIH databases, please visit the Data Sharing page.
Over 100 research studies have utilized data collected as part of the Breast Cancer Family Registry. We welcome collaborations from scientific researchers!
