CCBR typically has 15-20 ongoing projects and has completed over 450 projects since 1982. Each project is guided by our commitment to impacting social change in practical and powerful ways. We conduct research with people not on people, cultivating respect with communities at every step of the process.

Knowledge Translation Project with Echo: Improving Women's Health in Ontario
CCBR believes that knowledge leads to change when it is a catalyst for bringing people together and focusing their energy on addressing a common concern. This belief is at the very core of the Cancer Screening Spread project.
Background
Echo: Improving Women’s Health in Ontario (Echo), an agency of the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, works through strategic partnerships to ensure gender-based analysis supports decisions that affect women. They also collaborate with diverse stakeholders and act as the provincial advisor on women’s health to the Government of Ontario. Echo embarked on four community based demonstration projects in different parts of Ontario. These demonstration projects were designed to increase cancer screening for women who are seldom or never screened.
Cancer Screening Spread
CCBR collaborated with Echo staff to facilitate an engagement process that supports relationship formation and knowledge translation related to key learnings from the cancer screening demonstration projects. The purpose of the engagement process was to use critical reflection on innovative practice and the creation of a shared vision of system change to advance cancer screening capacity for women seldom or never screened across Ontario. To fulfill this purpose, an advisory committee worked closely with CCBR and Echo in developing a series of engagement events and conferences, intended to bring stakeholders from across the province together in order to share learnings and mobilize people to make a change in their daily practice. CCBR, Echo and the advisory committee also produced and developed a documentary/video, which served as a tool for non-participating groups to be able to build their own cancer screening programs based on learnings from demonstration projects.
