California's Comprehensive Breast Cancer Primary Prevention Plan

As part of our program-directed initiatives, CBCRP intends to fund up to one project to develop a comprehensive plan in the form of a report to outline opportunities to promote primary prevention of breast cancer in California.  

CBCRP seeks to support a transdisciplinary project lead by a cross-sector team to expand the existing approach to primary prevention by emphasizing health inequity, environmental exposures and other conditions beyond an individual's control over the usual expression of primary prevention such as lifestyle choices and personal habits.

One grant will be funded to a qualified California-based team with deep expertise and demonstrated leadership in advocacy, policy development and research to lead the development of a Comprehensive Breast Cancer Primary Prevention Plan for California.  

The project elements include:

• A transdisciplinary cross-sector team with at least one member with extenstive experience and leadership in each of the three areas: advocacy, research and policy development
• Abilty to convene leaders in these three areas from across California to advise on the Plan's develpment
• A strategic plan for primary prevention that directs collective efforts toward specific and measureable reductions in the incidence of breast cancer
• The inclusion of objectives for reducing breast cancer risk and promoting primary prevention efforts and strategic priorities for addressing risks
• An actionable implementation plan rooted in existing and ongoing efforts, if they exist.

Project aims

The five aims are:

1. To identify and convene key transdisciplinary cross-sector stakeholders to be engaged and help shape the Breast Cancer Primary Prevention Plan.
2. To identify key primary prevention areas in breast cancer, disparities and the role of the physical and social environments with a focus on areas not under an individual's control. 
3. To identify objectives for reducing these risks and promoting primary prevention and protective factors.
4. To identify strategic priorities for addressing these risks that are opportunities for action and intervention to prevent breast cancer.  
5. To develop a report outlining these components, including an actionable implementation plan and timeline, for widespread dissemination to key stakeholders in California. 

Project duration and budget caps

• Maximum duration: 2 years
• Budget cap for total project direct costs: $300,000
