Reports
The following collection of background materials, planning documents, and other reports were used to make decisions for the Special Research Initiatives.
Identifying Gaps in Breast Cancer Research
The CBCRP has commissioned a review of the existing research in the areas
of the SRI to ensure that we do not duplicate previous studies and that we
fund research in the most promising areas. If you want to be notified of changes
and updates to these papers, click here to

Strategy Development
This overview describes the five phases of the strategy development plan for the Special Research Initiatives. Throughout these five phases, CBCRP senior staff will engage breast cancer advocates and scientists from within and outside of California to assist in identifying research efforts that will significantly impact understanding and progress in the areas of the SRI. The five phases are intended to gather focused, yet broad-thinking ideas, and ensure that all relevant resources are brought to bear on the problems tackled by the Special Research Initiatives.

Background Papers
In 2003, the CBCRP commissioned position papers on pressing issues in breast cancer research. The response to some of these papers led to the development of the Special Research Initiatives.
Maximizing the Impact of the California Breast Cancer Research Program: Studying
Environmental Influences and Breast Cancer
This position paper by Robert Millikan, Ph.D., examines the importance
of research on breast cancer and the environment and the benefits and limitations
integrating genetic and environmental research.
