New Advocacy Involvement Tools for Investigators
|
|
Because we require applicants for all CBCRP funding to engage breast cancer or community advocates in their projects, and this may be a new skill set for some investigators, we have created a suite of technical assistance (TA) tools designed to answer questions and provide support. We are offering:
· TA modules: Brief, narrated PowerPoint presentations
· Webinars: Opportunities to sign up for upcoming webinars or listen to archived webinars providing information about CBCRP expectations and tips for involving advocates at the letter of intent (LOI) and application stages.
· Samples of strong advocacy involvement responses to CBCRP requirements
· Example timelines of collaboration and compensation
· Reading lists
Visit http://www.cabreastcancer.org/approach/advocacy-involvement/resources-for-investigators.html to explore these materials and learn how to meaningfully involve advocates your research or to fine tune your process.
