Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 02/16/2024
Size of the Grant: $10,000 to $100,000
Grant Duration: 2 Years
Details:
The CAPP encourages and supports the development of sustainable collaborations between the academic/scientific communities at the UACC and communities across Arizona. In this effort, the CAPP serves to address community identified cancer-related priorities. Grants funded using this mechanism will be community inspired and supported by UACC COE using a community academic partnership model.
CAPP sponsored grants will fund projects anywhere along the cancer continuum from prevention and early detection to survivorship and must include a research question that will be developed within a partnership between a community and a scientist. Proposals that focus on working directly with communities facing cancer-related health disparities are highly encouraged and will be given priority.
The mission of the CAPP is to work collaboratively with Arizona communities as partners with the UACC to create a cancer free Arizona. Through grant making, training/technical assistance and scientific input we aim to:
- Support communities in identifying and addressing their most pressing cancer-related needs.
- Enhance collaboration between communities and the UACC to address local cancer issues and cancer health disparities to formulate important research questions.
- Foster the skills and abilities of communities to ensure the long-term sustainability of these efforts to address local cancer issues.
- Create externally fundable efforts designed to directly address the priorities and cancer burden of Arizonans
