About the Cancer Research ProgramThe California Cancer Research Program (CRP) is a statewide program administered by the Cancer Research Section of the California Department of Health Services with assistance from the University of California, Davis through an Interagency Agreement. Established by California Health and Safety Code, Section 104175 et. seq. in 1998, the CRP has since awarded more than $86 million to 182 California cancer research proposals. Pursuant to the enabling legislation, the Cancer Research Program consists of a research program office with a director and other essential staff, a cancer research council and a research peer review panel. Cancer Research CouncilThe Cancer Research Council (CRC) consists of 15 voting members and one ex-officio member who are appointed by the Director, Department of Health Services. Members represent a range of expertise and experience drawn from cancer survivors from cancer-related advocacy groups, scientists and clinicians, and practicing cancer medical specialists from health organizations and private industry with proportionate representation as provided for in the enabling legislation. The Council participates in the development of the strategic objectives and priorities of the program and advises on what and how many research grants should be awarded based on the priorities established and the technical merits of the proposed research. Cancer Research SectionThe Cancer Research Section (CRS) of the Department of Health Services provides overall coordination of the program; provides staff assistance to the program and council; develops administrative procedures relative to the solicitation, review, and awarding of grants; recruits and supervises research review panels; provides periodic program evaluation; provides for the dissemination of research results to the public and develops policies and procedures to facilitate the translation of research results into commercial, alternate technological, and other applications wherever appropriate and consistent with state and federal law. University of California, Davis
The University of California, Davis campus provides evaluation and administrative support for the extramural component of the California Cancer Research Program and is responsible for establishing the administrative structure to solicit, receive, and then evaluate the applications for funding. After identifying the applications to fund, the UC Davis staff is responsible for the generation of subcontracts to award funds. The UC Davis staff then monitors the fiscal activity and progress of the research.
