CBPR Grants Program Description and Priorities
Through a partnership with Kohl’s Department Stores, the Midwest Division of the
American Cancer Society will provide grants in support of high quality
community-based research activities that address the purpose and priorities of
the CBPR program, as described below.
Program Priorities
- The
focus of the grant is breast health with an emphasis on cancer disparities.
Applications should address:
o Barriers to breast cancer screening/early detection
or
o Barriers to breast cancer treatment
- Research must be undertaken in the Milwaukee/SE Wisconsin area.
- Proposals must demonstrate community involvement and address health disparities in one or more aspect along the breast cancer continuum, from prevention, to screening, to treatment.
- Priority will be given to those proposals that demonstrate a potential for changes in community or health care systems that, upon completion of the project, could lead to sustained efforts, stronger partnerships, and a lasting impact.
Funding Parameters
- CBPR Grants will be awarded for a total amount of $50,000 ($25,000 per year for two years)
- The initial phase of a two-year proposal may be a planning period
- For the two-year awards, satisfactory progress must be demonstrated during the first year to qualify for second year funding
- Final installments for awards will be contingent on meeting all program and budget requirements
