Description
The Community Research Collaboration (CRC) Awards, administered by the California Breast Cancer Research Program (CBCRP) within the University of California, fund participatory research projects that are co-led by community organizations and academic investigators. These awards are specifically designed to foster research that is directly relevant to California communities and CBCRP priority issues, with a strong emphasis on integrating community perspectives throughout the research process. CRC Awards are available as Pilot Awards (for early-stage projects and partnership development) and Full Awards (for well-developed, data-supported research).
