Steering Committee
Members of the research and advocacy communities with valued expertise provide strategic direction for CBCRP's Program Initiatives.
The Steering Committee is composed of members of the research and advocacy communities. Steering Committee members provide detailed input and make recommendations throughout the process to refine and prioritize research questions and topics and develop blueprint concept papers. The Steering Committee is a small group that meets several times a year to advise on the overall strategy, provide detailed input, and make consensus recommendations to the Council. Steering Committee members are primarily from outside of California and therefore ineligible for CBCRP research funding.
