Community Research Collaboration Award Workshops
Are you a community member interested in finding answers to health questions about your community? Are you a researcher curious about how you can partner with community members to conduct breast cancer research together? Join Marj Plumb, collaborative research consultant, from the comfort of your own phone for a free, LIVE, engaging one-hour information webinar about the Community Research Collaboration (CRC) Awards.
CRC awards provide $150,000 to $600,000 of funding (plus indirect funds for most institutions) from the California Breast Cancer Research Program and require a partnership of California-based community organizations and research scientists. While the call for applications occurs around the end of September each year (with a submission deadline in January of each year), finding a partner, forming your team, discussing research ideas and methodology, and getting prepared to apply should begin now.
Past CRC Awards have funded a variety of research topics, including:
- Latina Breast Cancer Survivors...Our Experience
- Mindful Movement Program for Breast Cancer Survivors
- Breast Cancer Clinical Trials Education Program
- Adapting a Breast Cancer Education Program for South Asians
- Increasing Mammography Screening in Latinas with Diabetes
- Breast Health Behaviors of Immigrant Afghan Women
- Sister Survivor: African American Breast Cancer Coalition
- Breast Cancer Risks in California Nail Salon Workers
- Expanding Rural Access: Distance Delivery of Support Groups
- Underserved Women with Breast Cancer at End of Life
This call will provide:
1) an overview of the CRC awards and CBCRP research funding priorities,
2) a presentation and discussion about the initial stages of collaborative research, from finding a partner and forming your team to discussing research ideas and methodology,
3) announcement of application deadlines and timelines.
