Description
The Community Research Collaboration (CRC) Awards, offered by the California Breast Cancer Research Program (CBCRP), are designed to foster equitable partnerships between California-based community organizations and academic researchers. These awards support research projects that address significant breast cancer challenges relevant to California communities, integrating local knowledge and scientific expertise. The CRC program funds teams to collaboratively identify research questions, design studies, gather and analyze data, and disseminate findings to both community members and the scientific community, with the goal of informing public health strategies and reducing the burden of breast cancer.
