Description
The Community Research Collaboration (CRC) Awards, offered by the California Breast Cancer Research Program (CBCRP), are designed to foster equal partnerships between community organizations and academic researchers to tackle critical, community-relevant questions in breast cancer. Since 1997, CRC Awards have supported teams in designing, conducting, and disseminating research that integrates scientific expertise with the lived experiences of affected communities. The goal is to advance impactful, community-driven research that informs public health strategies and reduces the burden of breast cancer, particularly among underserved or underrepresented populations in California.
