(OHSU) awarded $462,656 to 17 projects statewide as part of the first round of funding offered through its Community Partnership Program. The program's goal is to address community-identified needs to ultimately decrease the impact of cancer on Oregonians.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">Projects chosen in this initial round will benefit 23 Oregon counties and a wide range of populations in both rural and urban communities. Projects will focus on preventing tobacco
use among youth; providing transportation to patients in cancer treatment; increasing consumption of fruits and vegetables through a community supported agriculture prescription plan; developing a rural clinic for cancer survivors; implementing culturally
appropriate strategies to increase colorectal cancer screening among medically underserved Oregonians; and developing skin cancer prevention programs for adolescents, among other needs. Oregonians served by these projects will include a wide variety of age
groups, races, ethnic groups and cancer types.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

projects funded</a> through the initial round of the Community Partnership Program.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">The Community Partnership Program provides grants and other resources to community-identified projects addressing cancer prevention, early detection, treatment and survivorship. The
initial round of funding resulted in 44 competitive proposals submitted.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">"The need for this program is evident in the level of enthusiasm it has generated throughout the state and the number of proposals that were submitted,†said
<strong><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Kerri Winters-Stone, Ph.D.</span></strong>, co-director of the Community Partnership Program and co-leader of the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute Cancer Prevention and Control Program.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">Three tiers of funding were available in this initial round. Early stage grants that provided up to $10,000, developmental grants that offered up to $25,000 and program advancement
grants that supplied up to $50,000 in funding. The Community Partnership Program differs from many other community grants programs in that 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, sustainable program. Additionally, projects are paired with an academic collaborator who shares best-practices, supports program development and aids in evaluation measures. The mutual sharing of information between organizations and academic
collaborators will help strengthen the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute's understanding of Oregonian's needs as they relate to cancer.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">"To impact the burden of cancer statewide we know it is essential to work with organizations most in tune with the cancer needs of their communities. Working directly with these organizations
will allow the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute to aid in the development of sustainable projects that will benefit the health of all Oregonians,†said
<strong><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Jackilen Shannon, Ph.D., R.D.</span></strong>, co-director of the Community Partnership Program, and co-leader of the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute Cancer Prevention and Control Program.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">The OHSU Knight Cancer Institute has committed to invest $1 million dollars annually to support this program for the next decade. In addition, the Meyer Memorial Trust recently awarded
the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute a two-year grant of $500,000 to enhance the program. A second round of funding for the Community Partnership Program will open for applications later in 2015.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Knight Cancer Institute</a> at Oregon Health & Science University is a pioneer in the field of personalized cancer medicine. The institute's director, Brian Druker, M.D., helped prove it was possible to shut down cells that enable cancer to grow without harming
healthy cells. This breakthrough has made once-fatal forms of the disease manageable and ushered in a new generation of targeted cancer therapies. The OHSU Knight Cancer Institute is the only National Cancer Institute-designated Cancer Center between Sacramento
and Seattle – an honor earned only by the nation's top cancer centers. It offers the latest treatments and technologies as well as hundreds of research studies and clinical trials.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">The institute continues to build upon its scientific and clinical leadership with both public support and private philanthropy. Most recently, the institute's plans to advance the

two-year fundraising campaign</a>. This pledge follows a transformative $100 million gift from the Knights in 2008.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

state's only public academic health and research university. As one of Oregon's largest employers with more than 14,000 employees, OHSU's size contributes to its ability to provide many services and community support not found anywhere else in the state. OHSU
serves patients from every corner of Oregon and is a conduit for learning for more than 4,400 students and trainees. OHSU is the source of more than 200 community outreach programs that bring health and education services to each county in the state.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
