On behalf of the University of California, we would like to welcome you to the CBCRP’s "From Research to Action: Tools for Change" Symposium. We hope you enjoy the symposium sessions, as well as the opportunity to meet with colleagues, friends, and advocates. 

The California Breast Cancer Research Program awarded over eight million dollars in research funds this past year, including grants to foster career development and training of breast cancer researchers, translational projects to move scientific discoveries from bench to bedside and into the community, collaborative projects between community-based organizations and researchers, as well as innovative research grants.

The CBCRP staff and the Breast Cancer Research Council have worked hard to bring you this exciting symposium. We want to thank them for their passion and dedication to eradicating breast cancer.

Enjoy the Symposium!
