Resources and Tools Funded by CBCRP

CBCRP grantees have developed tools and resources to propel breast cancer research forward. This is a growing list of products that are free for public use.

Paths to Prevention: The California Breast Cancer Primary Prevention Plan

Breast Cancer Prevention Partners developed first-ever, comprehensive, Breast Cancer Primary Prevention Plan for California. The report identified risks and protective factors for breast cancer through review of peer-reviewed research and gathering input from affected communities and developed recommendation for research, policy and community actions to reduce breast cancer risk.

This project was funded through the Primary Prevention Plan grant to Nancy Buermeyer, Breast Cancer Prevention Partners.

Exploring Chemical Exposure for California’s Women Workers

The Women’s Occupations and Risks from Chemicals (WORC) project created an interactive tool to visualize existing data on women’s occupational exposures in California and identify data gaps. The visualization allows the user to explore exposures by occupation, ethnicity/race.

This project was funded through the Occupational Exposures and Brea s t Cancer Risk grant to Robert Harrison, Public Health Institute and Peggy Reynolds, University of California, San Francisco.

New Paradigm of Breast Cancer Causation and Prevention

Robert Hiatt at the University of California San Francisco in collaboration with David Rehkopf at the Stanford University School of Medicine developed this model to demonstrate the complexity of breast cancer causation, while, at the same time, providing an educational tool for the public’s understanding and for stimulating new scientific research.

This project was funded through the New Paradigm of Breast Cancer Causation and Prevention and the New Paradigm of Breast Cancer Causation and Prevention: Phase II grants to Robert Hiatt, University of California San Francisco

California Breast Cancer Mapping Project

The California Environmental Health Tracking Program of the Public Health Institute conducted a project in deep collaboration with a community advisory group to identify sub-county areas of concern for breast cancer incidence.

This project was funded through the Cancer Mapping: Making Spatial Models Work for Communities grant to Eric Roberts at the Public Health Institute.
