The American Cancer Society (ACS) will soon issue a new funding opportunity to support increased colorectal cancer (CRC) screening in American Indian and Alaska Native communities. ACS will offer grants of up to $100,000 ($50,000 per year for 2 years) to 5 organizations to support the implementation of CRC screening projects aimed to improve screening and decrease CRC disparities. Details are included in the attached letter.
The formal RFA will be released this spring, but ACS is circulating this information now in order to provide advance notice to organizations that may be interested in pursuing one of these grants, and allow them to be prepared to respond to the RFA upon its release.  According to Durado D. Brooks, MD, MPH, Managing Director, Cancer Control Intervention at ACS, if an organization is interested in pursuing one of these grants, ACS is requesting the submission of a non-binding Letter of Interest (LOI).  Submit the LOI and any questions to spo at cancer.org<mailto:spo at cancer.org> by February 28, 2017.
