Supporting equitable public health policy through research and innovation

Symposium Overview

Thursday, May 1, 2025
9:30 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.

CPR3 is hosting an in-person Symposium to bring together CPR3-funded research teams, community stakeholders and California public health policymakers to share insights from CPR3's portfolio and explore their implications for shaping public health policies and initiatives. Through facilitated networking, collaborative workshops and panels with various experts, we hope to create a space where attendees can share knowledge that will lead to more effective public health policy in California. 

This symposium is limited to CPR3-awarded teams and invited guests, and registration is required. The Symposium's agenda, related documents and key takeaways will be shared on this page.
