Description
The Policy Initiative, part of the California Breast Cancer Research Program (CBCRP) and administered by the University of California - Office of The President, funds research projects designed to generate evidence and analysis that will inform public policies related to breast cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment, survivorship, and health systems in California. Projects must align with CBCRP’s priority areas and demonstrate a clear potential to influence policy decisions that improve outcomes for Californians affected by breast cancer. This mechanism is intended as a rapid-response opportunity for research that can quickly fill evidence gaps relevant to policy development.
