THE KNIGHT CANCER INSTITUTE at Oregon Health & Science University launched a program to aid communities statewide in addressing cancer-related needs.
The institute made a decade-long commitment to invest $1 million annually through this program to assist groups that want to reduce the cancer burden in their communities.
Three tiers of grants are available to support a wide variety of projects: early stage grants provide up to $10,000, developmental grants offer up to $25,000 and program advancement grants supply up to $50,000. These grants will fund community-identified projects anywhere along the cancer continuum from prevention to early detection and treatment through survivorship.
Projects will be paired with an academic collaborator who will share best-practices, support program development and aid in evaluation measures. The information will be shared between organizations, academic collaborators, and the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute.
