A focus on equity, collaboration and inclusive engagement
The following cross-cutting principles guide all CPR3 efforts:
- Centering around equity. The COVID-19 pandemic and other threats to public health have underscored and perpetuated long-standing inequities, many of which are rooted in structural and inter-personal racism. CPR3 is committed to supporting equitable public health research with diverse individuals and communities.
- Strengthening multi-sector collaboration, harnessing the depth and breadth of public health, healthcare, and lived experiences throughout California. CPR3 has a unique opportunity to build coordination and collaboration across academia, community-based organizations, clinicians and health systems, implementors, state and local public health offices, health plans and purchasers, and others, such that insights and lessons learned can be shared with all stakeholders in a timely and impactful manner.
- Innovating through transdisciplinary, community-engaged research. Given the complex intersectionality of health, social determinants and economics, a multi-sectoral, transdisciplinary approach, inclusive of diverse stakeholders is needed. CPR3 aims to strengthen this crosstalk so that lessons learned can be effectively disseminated among policymakers, public health officials, researchers, community leaders and the public.
