Description
This opportunity supports research projects that inform the formulation of public policies to reduce breast cancer incidence, morbidity, and mortality in California. The Policy Initiative mechanism is designed to generate evidence and analysis that can directly impact policies related to breast cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment, survivorship, or health systems within the state. Projects should align with the California Breast Cancer Research Program’s (CBCRP) priority areas and demonstrate clear potential to influence policy decisions to improve breast cancer outcomes for Californians.
