Description
The California Breast Cancer Research Program (CBCRP), administered by the University of California, offers Conference Awards to support events such as conferences, symposia, and retreats that advance breast cancer research, policy, or practice within California. These awards aim to spark innovative thinking, build new collaborations, and address critical issues in breast cancer by bringing together diverse stakeholders. Two award types are available: the Standard Conference Award (open to all eligible applicants) and the Community-Led Conference Award (designed for grassroots organizations needing additional development time and feedback via a required Letter of Intent). All supported events must devote at least half of their agenda to breast cancer objectives and generate outcomes that benefit the California breast cancer research community.
