Proposals will be accepted for projects that aim to address local, community-specific cancer-related needs in Oregon. In addition to funds, grantees gain access to trainings, technical assistance and networking opportunities to enhance project success.

The program's intent to apply form and the request for proposals (RFP) document are now available on the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute Community Partnership Program website.

• Sign up for the application assistance webinar on January 26, and the project design and evaluation webinar on February 2, 2017.

Grants are available in three tiers: early stage (Tier 1) grants of up to $10,000, developmental (Tier 2) grants of up to $25,000 and program advancement (Tier 3) 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 sustainable program.

Continued focus on addressing cancer-related health disparities Proposals that address cancer-related health disparities, including disparities related to race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, gender identity, sexual orientation, geographic location and disability continue to be highly encouraged.
