Susan G. Komen for the Cure Accepting Applications for National Capital Area Community Grants Program
Susan G. Komen for the Cure Accepting Applications for National Capital Area Community Grants Program
Susan G. Komen for the Cure is accepting applications for the National Capital Area Community Grants Program. With funding from the Susan G. Komen Global Race for the Cure, grants will support high-impact breast cancer programs in the National Capital area that address the priorities described in Komen's 2010 Community Profile, a needs assessment of Washington, D.C., and seven surrounding counties. The program seeks to reduce rates of late-stage diagnosis and mortality, with an emphasis on eliminating disparities in breast cancer treatment.
Lead applicant agencies must be federally tax-exempt, nonprofit organizations located in or providing services to one or more of the following areas: Washington, D.C.; Montgomery County and Prince George's County, Maryland; and Alexandria City, Fairfax County, Loudoun County, Arlington County, and Prince William County, Virginia.
The program has three funding priorities.
Screening/reducing fragmentation: Enhance the healthcare system's capacity to screen and provide follow-up care in the National Capital area. Programs will create continuity between referral, screening, diagnosis, and treatment within the region.
Provider education: increase provider cultural competency, understanding of breast cancer screening recommendations supported by Susan G. Komen for the Cure, and knowledge of various referral processes to better navigate their patients through the continuum of care.
Public education: implement breast cancer education programs that include tailored messages and understanding of the disease and survivorship, and ensure that the programs are culturally competent. All education programs must demonstrate how their activities will lead to action, such as participants obtaining regular mammograms.
For all priority areas, partnerships and/or collaborations are required and organizations must provide evidence of collaboration.
The lead agency applying for Priority I (screening/reducing fragmentation) may request up to $1 million over four years on behalf of the coalition, collaboration, or partnership. There is no cap on how much the lead applicant can apply for under Priority II or III, but the budget must be in line with outlined project and industry standards. For Priorities II and III, the project period must be at least two years.
Visit the Komen Web site for the complete Request for Applications, the 2010 community profile, and online application instructions.
