Research Advocacy

Empowered Voices. Informed Research. Lasting Change

At Blossoming Butterfly Inc., we know that research advocacy is a vital part of our commitment to education, awareness, and advocacy in the fight against breast cancer. We actively support and engage in breast cancer research by ensuring that the patient voice remains central to scientific discovery and decision-making.

​

Our organization is supported by a strong community of dedicated volunteer advocates who work alongside us to educate, empower, and provide assistance, helping to reduce the burden of breast cancer within their communities. Through research advocacy, we help amplify the lived experiences of patients, survivors, and co-survivors, ensuring their perspectives inform the scientific dialogue and influence research priorities that move us closer to ending breast cancer.

 

Blossoming Butterfly Inc. research advocates serve in multiple capacities throughout the research process—from educating the public about research initiatives to participating in grant peer reviews and collaborating with scientific teams to help prioritize, develop, and implement impactful research projects. Our team also engages in ongoing education to strengthen their advocacy skills and expand their scientific knowledge, allowing them to serve as informed, credible partners in research advancement.

​

Through this work, Blossoming Butterfly Inc. bridges the gap between science and lived experience—championing research that is inclusive, patient-centered, and transformative.

We are deeply grateful to participans of this study for their willingness to engage in journaling and complete the necessary measures. We also extend our sincere thank you to the nurses and staff at the University of Florida Clinical and Translational Science Institute Clinical Research Center for their invaluable support and assitance. Addtionally, we would like to acknowledge Nicole Miller, President and CEO of Blossoming Butterfly Inc., for her contributions and support throughout this project.
