Demonstrating the Capacity of Comprehensive Cancer Control Programs to Implement Policy and Environmental Cancer Control Interventions | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Demonstrating the Capacity of Comprehensive Cancer Control Programs to Implement Policy and Environmental Cancer Control Interventions" is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) discretionary funding program offered through a cooperative agreement. Its central purpose is to strengthen and showcase how established Comprehensive Cancer Control (CCC) programs can carry out cancer control work that goes beyond individual-level education or services and instead focuses on policy changes and environmental improvements that can prevent cancer, improve early detection, and reduce cancer-related inequities. The opportunity is explicitly tied to the Healthy People 2010 priorities of reducing cancer burden and eliminating health disparities, which signals that applicants are expected to emphasize interventions that reach entire populations and that measurably improve outcomes for groups that have historically faced worse cancer risk, screening access, treatment outcomes, or survival.

This funding opportunity was issued under Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA DP10-1017, with the activity aligned to a public health category (Health) and the CDC assistance listing number (CFDA) 93.283, which covers CDC investigations and technical assistance. The CDC planned to make approximately 12 awards under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $2,000,000. The mechanism being a cooperative agreement is important because it generally implies an active partnership with CDC during the project period. In practical terms, that typically means recipients can expect substantial CDC involvement in areas like technical assistance, performance monitoring, and refining intervention strategies, rather than a more hands-off relationship that can sometimes occur with other grant types.

Eligibility is intentionally narrow and restricted to existing CCC implementation grantees. Only the 65 entities already funded for implementation under the Comprehensive Cancer Control component of CDC RFA DP07-703 were allowed to apply. This reflects the program's emphasis on demonstrating capacity: the applicant pool is limited to jurisdictions and organizations that already have functioning CCC infrastructure, partnerships, and planning processes in place. The announcement also allows for applications from a "bona fide agent," meaning an organization formally designated by a state, tribe, territory, Pacific Island jurisdiction, or local government to apply on its behalf. If applying as a bona fide agent, the applicant must provide a letter from the relevant governmental entity documenting that status, which serves as the required proof that the agent is authorized to act in lieu of the government applicant.

Several administrative details define the timeline and basic terms. The announcement was posted and created on June 1, 2010, with an original and final application deadline of July 26, 2010. The opportunity was archived on August 25, 2010, indicating it is no longer open for applications. The notice states there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which reduces the financial barrier for eligible CCC grantees and emphasizes that the value CDC is seeking is implementation and demonstration of effective policy and environmental strategies rather than leveraging outside matching funds. The award ceiling and award floor are listed as $0, which usually indicates that the specific per-award funding levels were not stated in the summary fields and would need to be confirmed in the full announcement or budget guidance.

From a programmatic standpoint, the title and framing strongly suggest that CDC was looking for projects capable of implementing structural interventions that can influence cancer risk and cancer outcomes at scale. "Policy interventions" often include efforts such as adopting or strengthening smoke-free laws, promoting workplace or insurance policies that expand access to cancer screening, improving regulations that reduce exposure to carcinogens, or advancing policies that support evidence-based vaccination programs like HPV vaccination. "Environmental interventions" generally refer to changes in physical, organizational, or community environments that make healthy choices easier and reduce exposure to cancer risks, such as increasing access to smoke-free public spaces, improving access to healthy foods and places for physical activity, or redesigning health system processes to make screening and follow-up more reliable. The emphasis on comprehensive cancer control implies that funded activities would ideally connect prevention, screening, and survivorship work, and integrate partners across public health, healthcare systems, community organizations, and policy stakeholders.

The opportunity is administered by the CDC, and prospective applicants who had trouble accessing the full electronic announcement were directed to the CDC Procurement and Grants Office. The listed contact route includes a phone number (770-488-2700) and an email address (pgotim@cdc.gov), reflecting standard federal grant support channels for technical problems related to accessing application materials rather than program strategy consultation.

In short, this was a targeted CDC cooperative agreement opportunity designed to fund a subset of already-established CCC grantees to prove and expand their ability to implement cancer control strategies that operate at the policy and environmental level, with a strong emphasis on population impact and on reducing disparities consistent with Healthy People 2010 goals.
