Community Research Collaboration (CRC) Awards

TraditionalFoundation grant

CBCRP, funded by a California tobacco tax surtax and administered by the University of California, runs an annual cycle of breast cancer research awards. The Community Research Collaboration award is the mechanism most relevant to social work: it requires a genuine co-principal-investigator partnership between a community organisation and an academic researcher across all phases of the study, from question-setting through interpretation. Pilot awards run up to $200,000 in direct costs for 18 months and full awards up to $600,000 over three years. The same cycle also carries IDEA awards, fellow

Timing
Annual cycleNo specific published date recorded. This funder publishes a cycle rather than a date, and this database does not invent one.Runs in annual cycles (the funding-opportunities page describes Cycle 32, 2025-2026, with CRC Planning awards deferred to Cycle 33). The page itself does not print deadline dates and refers applicants to a separate dates-and-deadlines page, which did not resolve when fetched, so no date is recorded
Who can apply
Doctoral candidate, Postdoctoral, Early-career faculty, Any faculty rank, Community organisation
Eligibility
CBCRP funds research only in California and states that any California resident may apply; the research must address one of the programme's stated priority issues. The CRC mechanism specifically requires paired Community and Academic co-PIs, so a community-based organisation is a co-applicant rather than a subcontractor. Applications are submitted through the SmartSimple portal after registration.
