CPR3’s mission is to harness the depth of expertise throughout the University of California system – including diverse partnerships with community organizations and state and local policymakers – to conduct high-impact public health research. CPR3 is focused on making meaningful change in the lives of all Californians, with an emphasis on those who have been historically marginalized.

This means:

• Crafting high-priority public health research agendas by convening key stakeholders to prioritize public health research needed for individuals and communities to experience renewed and improved health and wellbeing.
• Amplifying public health research through targeted investment and technical assistance to close gaps in knowledge and implementation, enhancing the impact of public health in our state.
• Facilitating rigorous community engagement and evidence to policy strategies to ensure that public health research meets the needs of communities, policymakers and other stakeholders.
