Cancer Prevention and Control Programs for State, Territorial, and Tribal Organizations

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, through its Division of Cancer Prevention and Control, has worked since 1990 with national organizations, state, territorial, freely associated state, and tribal health agencies, and other partners to develop, implement, and promote cancer prevention and control strategies. The division's mission focuses on preventing cancer, improving screening, supporting ongoing care for cancer survivors, and improving health outcomes. This federal cooperative agreement opportunity, Cancer Prevention and Control Programs for State, Territorial, and Tribal Organizations, uses a comprehensive and coordinated approach intended to bring organizations and partners together to address cancer burden through surveillance, prevention, screening, clinical preventive services, and survivorship activities. The opportunity will fund eligible applicants to collaboratively plan and implement evidence-based cancer surveillance, prevention, and control strategies in communities. Funding is organized through three national programs. Program 1, the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program, supports clinical services for women with low incomes who do not have adequate insurance. Component A supports breast and cervical cancer screening and diagnostic follow-up for these women. Component B is optional and supports implementation of evidence-based interventions shown to increase breast and cervical cancer screening. Program 2, the National Comprehensive Cancer Control Program, supports cancer coalition efforts that use individual and collective resources to plan and implement evidence-based strategies described in jurisdiction-wide cancer plans. Program 3, the National Program of Cancer Registries, supports implementation of population-based central cancer registry programs. The estimated total program funding is 1260000000, with 196 awards expected. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement and cost sharing or matching is required. The source does not provide a nonzero award floor or award ceiling and does not state the required matching percentage, ratio, or amount. Accordingly, the per-award minimum and maximum and the match amount cannot be reliably determined from the provided material. The source also does not state a period of performance, indirect cost limitation, or subaward limitation. Eligibility differs substantially among the three programs. Program 1 is limited to state health departments and the District of Columbia; U.S. Territories and Freely Associated States; Federally Recognized American Indian Tribes, Tribal Organizations, Alaska Native Organizations, Urban Indian Organizations, or their Bona Fide Agents. Program 2 uses the broader applicant eligibility categories shown in the opportunity, including nonprofit organizations, state governments, public and state controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, Native American tribal governments and organizations, city or township governments, county governments, and other applicants subject to the additional eligibility provisions. Program 3 is statutorily limited to state governments including the District of Columbia, U.S. territories and freely associated states, and bona fide agents applying on behalf of eligible state or territorial entities. Bona fide agents must provide documentation demonstrating their arrangement with the eligible applicant. The opportunity was posted on September 3, 2026, and the current and original application closing date is February 5, 2027. Electronically submitted applications must be submitted no later than 11:59 pm Eastern Time on that date. The source provides an Apply function but does not identify a separate letter of intent, concept paper, pre-proposal, notice of intent, or other advancement-based pre-application deadline. No recurring application cycle is stated. The archive date is March 7, 2027. The provided synopsis does not state an award notification date or performance period. The source emphasizes coordinated implementation across the three programs through partnerships, coordination of resources and efforts, consistent communication, and community involvement. Applicants should align proposed activities with the specific program requirements and evidence-based cancer surveillance, prevention, screening, control, or registry functions applicable to their program. General application questions may be directed to Netta Apedoe at DP270023@cdc.gov. No telephone contact or explicit downloadable NOFO PDF URL is provided in the source material.

Coordinate the three programs through partnerships, resource and effort coordination, consistent communication, and community involvement; use evidence-based cancer surveillance, prevention, and control strategies; align Program 2 work with jurisdiction-wide cancer plans.
