Research That Powers Real-World Change
At the Central California Asthma Collaborative (CCAC), research is integral to our mission of promoting health equity and environmental justice. Recognizing the complex challenges faced by communities in the San Joaquin Valley, we've adopted a dual research model that combines rigorous scientific inquiry with practical, community-based applications.
Our Dual Approach:
Standalone Research Initiatives: We conduct independent it seems like the other ones are I guess who you would call third person as well. Here's an example.nt studies in collaboration with leading institutions such as UC Berkeley, UCSF, UC Merced, and Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. These projects aim to deepen our understanding of environmental health impacts and inform broader public health policies.
Integrated Program Support: Our research efforts are embedded within CCAC's core programs—CARES, CEEJ, and SJVAir—ensuring that our services are evidence-based and tailored to the specific needs of the communities we serve. This integration allows for real-time feedback and continuous improvement of our interventions.
This model allows us to respond nimbly to urgent environmental threats while shaping long-term systems change—bridging scientific discovery with real-world solutions for the communities we serve.
