Dear Friends and Supporters of Us TOO,

As I mentioned in the May HotSheet email, the Department of Defense Prostate Cancer Research Program is seeking volunteers to serve as Consumer Reviewers. This is a great opportunity for you to help directly with research, and help determine how this research money is spent. The deadline for submission is Friday, May 25th, and you can find more information on the Department of Defense website.

Applicants must be a survivor of prostate cancer, an active participant in a prostate cancer-related organization, able to read and write in English, have a high school graduate or equivalent, able to demonstrate interest in extending your personal scientific knowledge, and have ready access to a computer with an Internet connection.

Applicants will also need a letter of support from an advocacy organization such as Us TOO. Please let me know if I can help provide one for you. 

Here is the application form and a brochure on the program. If you are interested in moving forward with this, please contact me by email at tom@ustoo.org or the Us TOO office by calling 1-630-795-1002. We will need to complete the Nomination Form together as Section II requires information from you. Please contact me no later than Wednesday, May 23rd.

This program, and the role of a Consumer Reviewer, is such an important activity, I encourage you to step up and join.

Sincerely,

Thomas Kirk President & CEO Us TOO International Downers Grove, IL 60655 Office: 630-795-1002 Toll Free: 800-808-7866 tom@ustoo.org
