California Specific: Fund research that utilizes resources particular to California and/or addresses a breast cancer need that is specific but not necessarily unique to the burden of breast cancer in California.
Career Development: Fund research that helps recruit, retain, and develop high-quality California-based investigators who engage in breast cancer research.
Collaboration: Fund research that uses multi-disciplinary approaches and helps foster collaboration among California scientists, clinicians, advocates, community members, patients, survivors, and others.
Disparities: Fund research that addresses disparities, inequalities, and/or underserved populations in California.
Innovation: Fund innovative research (e.g., new drugs, new strategies, new paradigms, new applications of tested strategies in new populations and contexts).
Non-duplicative: Fund research that complements, builds on, and/or feeds into, but is not duplicative of other research programs.
Outcome Driven: Fund research that will improve public health outcomes (e.g. preventing breast cancer, detection of breast cancer, effective treatments and quality of life).
Policy: Fund research and evaluation that will have policy implications for breast cancer in California.
Responsive: Fund research that is responsive to the perceived breast cancer research needs, opportunities, and expectations of CBCRP as identified by scientists and the public in California.
Translation: Fund research that is on a critical path for practical application and leads to more effective products, technologies, interventions, or policies and their application/delivery to Californians.
