The Amelia Project, Giving Wings to Research, was created in 1998 by consumers in order to impact and expedite the breast cancer research agenda in Indiana.
The project is designed to improve the quality of care for Indiana women by fostering a statewide community of scientists and clinicians, who in partnership with the consumers, are working toward the eradication of breast cancer. The program brings senior and junior scientists, clinical investigators, and students from six different Indiana universities and colleges together on a neutral field under the consumer umbrella.
