Details:
The following are required components of the project:
- Geographic Area to be Served: Clinical service delivery to nonmetropolitan/medically underserved area (MUA) counties must be included in the defined service area. Rural and MUA counties may be identified via web-based tools from the Texas Department of State Health Services and US Department of Health and Human Services
- Comprehensive Projects: Comprehensive projects include a continuum of services and systems and policy changes and comprise all of the following: Public and professional education and training, outreach, delivery of screening and diagnostic services, follow-up navigation to treatment services for those diagnosed with cancer and precancer, data collection and tracking, and systems improvement.
- Evidence Based: CPRIT’s secondary prevention grants are intended to fund effective and efficient systems of delivery of early detection services based on the existing body of knowledge about and evidence for screening for both primary and secondary cancers in ways that far exceed current performance in a given service area. The provision of clinical services, including rescreening at the appropriate interval, must comply with established and current national guidelines (eg, US Preventive Services Task Force [USPSTF], American Cancer Society).

Eligibility Criteria
- The applicant must be a Texas-based entity, such as a community-based organization, health institution, government organization, public or private company, college or university, or academic health institution.
- The applicant is eligible solely for the grant mechanism specified by the RFA under which the grant application was submitted.
- The designated Program Director (PD) will be responsible for the overall performance of the funded project.
- The PD must have relevant education and management experience and must reside in Texas during the project performance time.
- The applicant may submit more than 1 application, but each application must be for distinctly different projects without overlap in the projects. Applicants who do not meet this criterion will have all applications administratively withdrawn without peer review. Collaborations are permitted and encouraged, and collaborators may or may not reside in Texas. However, collaborators who do not reside in Texas are not eligible to receive CPRIT funds. Subcontracting and collaborating organizations may include public, not-for-profit, and for-profit entities. Such entities may be located outside of the State of Texas, but non– Texas-based organizations are not eligible to receive CPRIT funds.
- An applicant organization is eligible to receive a grant award only if the applicant certifies that the applicant organization, including the PD, any senior member or key personnel listed on the grant application, or any officer or director of the grant applicant’s organization (or any person related to 1 or more of these individuals within the second degree of consanguinity or affinity), has not made and will not make a contribution to CPRIT or to any foundation created to benefit CPRIT.
- An applicant is not eligible to receive a CPRIT grant award if the applicant PD, any senior member or key personnel listed on the grant application, or any officer or director of the grant applicant’s organization or institution is related to a CPRIT Oversight Committee member.
- The applicant must report whether the applicant organization, the PD, or other individuals who contribute to the execution of the proposed project in a substantive, measurable way (whether slated to receive salary or compensation under the grant award or not) are currently ineligible to receive federal grant funds because of scientific misconduct or fraud or have had a grant terminated for cause within 5 years prior to the submission date of the grant application.
- CPRIT grants will be awarded by contract to successful applicants. CPRIT grants are funded on a reimbursement-only basis. Certain contractual requirements are mandated by Texas law or by administrative rules. Although applicants need not demonstrate the ability to comply with these contractual requirements at the time the application is submitted, applicants should make themselves aware of these standards before submitting a grant application.
