ATTACHMENT 3: Sister Study Consultation and Review Record

The Sister Study
Internal and External Consultation, Formal Reviews, and Advisory Groups
The Sister Study began development in October 1997. The study concept, drafts of the protocol, and
various components of the study received extensive formal and informal review. Some reviews were
mandated to meet specific administrative milestones; others were designed to better inform the study
design or seek advice on “best practices” for a specific aspect of the proposed work. Most recently, the
study and its progress received an outstanding evaluation by the NIEHS Division of Intramural Research
Board of Scientific Counselors during the review of the Epidemiology Branch in April 2005. Key
milestones in the development and review process are summarized below.
November 1997 — Concept reviewed by Interagency Steering Committee for proposed
NCI/NIEHS/CDC Collaborative Study of Gene-Environment Interaction in the Etiology of Breast
Cancer. Non-NIEHS Steering Committee Members were from CDC, DHHS, NIOSH, and NCI.
1998-1999 — Protocol development and consultation with various experts and consumer groups, e.g.,
National Breast Cancer Coalition and informal focus groups of different racial, ethnic, and economic
backgrounds.
