Description
The California Breast Cancer Research Program (CBCRP) Conference Awards support gatherings that inform, stimulate ideas, and foster research specific to breast cancer. Standard awards support applicants capable of hosting a qualifying event. Community-Led awards support grassroots community organizations needing additional time, resources, or feedback to develop and execute an event. Events may be in person, virtual, or hybrid, including symposia, webinars, retreats, and roundtable discussions.
Events must advance at least one program goal: highlighting California resources, encouraging collaborations, recruiting researchers, addressing disparities and inequities, inspiring paradigm-shifting research, informing policy, advancing translational or outcome-driven research, or creating public education tools. Preference goes to events bringing together perspectives that rarely meet and generating new research projects and collaborations.
