For 2021-2022, JALBCA awarded a grant of $50,000 to the National Breast Cancer Coalition Fund for the Cynthia Rubin Scholarship at the National Breast Cancer Coalition Fund. The Cynthia Rubin Scholarship honors the memory of Cynthia Rubin, who was a leader of JALBCA and a passionate advocate for all those affected by breast cancer.

The National Breast Cancer Coalition Fund Institute is a six-day intensive science course for breast cancer advocates covering the basics of cancer biology, genetics, epidemiology, research design and advocacy. The course provides a foundation of scientific knowledge upon which participants can strengthen and empower themselves as activists. Taught by renowned research faculty, this is a unique opportunity for those interested in learning more about working as a National Breast Cancer Coalition research advocate.
