The aim for the National Network for Breast Cancer Research is to enhance the cooperation between breast cancer researchers, with a goal of better diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. The research network is funded by The Regional Health Authority in Southern and Eastern Norway. In January 2019 the network expanded from a regional to a national network.
