San Francisco, CA
More than 30 research projects led by teams from all 10 University of California (UC) campuses have been awarded over $6 million in funding from the CPR3 program – the California Collaborative for Pandemic Recovery and Readiness Research. CPR3 is a joint effort between UC San Francisco (UCSF), the California Health and Human Services Agency (CalHHS), and the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), aimed at using real-world evidence from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic to help all Californians gain a renewed and improved sense of health and wellbeing.
CPR³'s portfolio kickoff meeting brought together funded teams, community partners, and policy and public health stakeholders. Guest speakers who framed the initiative and its priority areas included: Tomás Aragon (CDPH), Rohan Radhakrishna (CDPH Office of Health Equity), Stephanie Welch (CalHHS), Melissa Stafford Jones (CalHHS), and Erica Pan (CDPH). A member from each awarded team presented a visual abstract of their project, highlighting the overall goal and evidence gap they hope to fill. We were thrilled to officially launch this collaborative and look forward to continuing the dialogue surrounding these projects! Watch the recording here.
