<p class="MsoNormal">This information is to share with you a funding opportunity that has just been released by OHSU Knight Cancer Institute. I encourage you to consider applying. The work you do to create environments where Oregonians can eat better, move
more, live tobacco free and do the things they love all serves to reduce the burden of cancer in your community.

<p class="MsoNormal">We want to let you know about a new grant funding opportunity to assist groups that want to reduce the cancer burden in their communities. The Knight Cancer Institute at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) is launching the Community
Partnership Program to aid communities in better understanding and addressing their cancer-related needs. This program will offer grants and other resources to organizations interested in developing a project addressing cancer prevention, early detection,
treatment or survivorship needs.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="Body"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Grants are available in three tiers to meet the differing needs of communities: early stage grants of up to $10,000, developmental grants of up to $25,000 and program development
grants of up to $50,000. The multiple tiers of funding offer a method for organizations to take an initial idea and move through the funding tiers to develop a robust program. All funded proposals will be paired with an academic collaborator who will share
best-practices, support program development and aid in evaluation measures. <o:p>
