Description
The Community Research Collaboration (CRC) Awards, administered by the California Breast Cancer Research Program (CBCRP) at the University of California, fund collaborative breast cancer research projects that are co-led by community organizations and academic investigators. These awards emphasize equitable partnerships at all research stages and focus on addressing critical breast cancer issues relevant to California communities, particularly those that are underserved or disproportionately affected. CRC Awards are structured to support both the development of new partnerships and mature, data-driven projects.
