Description
This opportunity, offered by the California Breast Cancer Research Program (CBCRP) and administered by the University of California, funds research that directly informs, evaluates, or supports the development and implementation of policies to reduce breast cancer incidence, morbidity, and mortality in California. The emphasis is on projects with clear policy relevance—those that can contribute to evidence-based policy change in prevention, detection, treatment, survivorship, health disparities, or other breast cancer-related domains within the state. Proposals must be framed in terms of their policy implications and potential impact on breast cancer outcomes, with a strong focus on improving public health.
