Opportunity Summary:

The Cancer Survivorship Resource Center grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CDC-RFA-DP10-1015) is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement designed to strengthen and expand a national-level survivorship initiative that began under an earlier CDC cooperative agreement (Program Announcement AA1611, the LIVESTRONG Cancer Survivorship Resource Center). The earlier effort helped produce the National Action Plan for Cancer Survivorship: Advancing Public Health Strategies, and this new award is meant to build on that foundation by supporting a domestic National Cancer Survivorship Resource Center that can push the Action Plan from planning into broader, measurable practice. In practical terms, CDC is looking to fund an organization that can help drive the development, implementation, and evaluation of public health strategies that improve life after cancer, not just treatment outcomes.

This opportunity is structured as a public health practice cooperative agreement with a five-year project period, which typically means the CDC expects substantial collaboration with the awardee during the life of the project (for example, coordination on deliverables, technical input, shared planning, and performance monitoring), rather than a hands-off grant relationship. The program is aimed at creating or strengthening a centralized survivorship hub that increases awareness, expands the use of survivorship services, and equips survivors and families with education and support related to the physical, emotional, and practical challenges that can follow a diagnosis.

The funding profile is narrow and competitive. CDC anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $850,000 and an award ceiling of $850,000 (award floor listed as $0). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted June 22, 2010, with an application closing date of August 2, 2010, and an archive date of September 1, 2010. The CFDA number associated with the program is 93.283 (CDC Investigations and Technical Assistance).

Eligibility is highly specific and effectively limited to a single domestic organization (or a very small set of organizations) with an established national and international footprint in cancer survivorship education and support. The announcement states that assistance will be provided only to a domestic organization that has demonstrated the ability to educate people living with cancer, their friends and family, and health care professionals using strategies aligned with the National Action Plan for Cancer Survivorship. The eligible applicant is expected to have a proven record as a cornerstone organization connecting survivorship and public health, with impact described as reaching more than 25 million people worldwide living with cancer. The applicant must also be widely recognized for building educational resources, community programs, survivorship centers, national partnerships, advocacy, and research, and must have a history of delivering high-quality educational information alongside hands-on support services such as case management, referrals, and patient navigation. Another key requirement is that the applicant already have survivorship resource center infrastructure in place, positioned to conduct education and outreach at scale and to help large numbers of survivors understand and manage survivorship issues.

From a public health goals perspective, the opportunity is explicitly tied to federal priority frameworks, including Healthy People 2010 and Healthy People 2020, within the cancer focus area. It aligns with goals to reduce the overall cancer death rate and to increase the proportion of cancer survivors living five years or longer after diagnosis. While those outcomes depend on many factors beyond a resource center, the intent here is that stronger survivorship systems, education, navigation, and coordinated public health strategies can improve survivorship experiences and support longer, better-quality survival through better follow-up care, informed self-management, and improved access to services.

For applicants needing access help or administrative support, the notice lists the CDC Procurement and Grants Office as the point of contact, with a phone number (770-488-2700) and email (pgotim@cdc.gov).
