CHRP provides start-up funds for the development of cutting edge research by investigators based in California, providing critical leverage to investigators to compete for subsequent federal and private grants. The program funding mechanisms are intended to provide a unique niche that can best serve California investigators and communities, and are designed to complement rather than duplicate funding offered by other sources.
