CLASP-BC is part of CBCRP’s Program Initiative strategic priority to disseminate and implement high-impact, population-based prevention approaches by funding large scale, evidence-informed interventions (EIIs), through multi-jurisdictional actions, with the intent to decrease the risk of breast cancer and other chronic diseases (sharing common risk factors), particularly among racial/ethnic minorities and medically underserved populations in California.
The aims of CLASP-BC Phase 2 Full Awards are to support Dissemination and Implementation Research Projects that:
- Expand upon existing primary prevention efforts into two or more California jurisdictions;
- Focus on disadvantaged, high risk communities with unmet social needs;
- Actively engage the leadership of local community-based organizations with research scientists, public health and/or community health practitioners, and legislative/executive policy influencers/makers as partners; and rigorously evaluate the impact of these expanded collaborative efforts.
- Include and update annually a sustainability plan for successful dissemination and implementation approaches.
- Collaboratively disseminate results of dissemination and implementation research through community, practice, and policy presentations (e.g., social media, press conferences, town hall/community meetings, press release, policy briefs, newsletters and magazines), as well as peer-reviewed publications.
All applications should be CPPR projects led by co-PIs within the coalitions of the community, research, practice, and policy organizations applying.
