Support Oregon communities in identifying and addressing their most pressing cancer-related needs. Enhance collaboration between Oregon communities and OHSU to address local cancer issues and cancer health disparities. Foster the skills and abilities of Oregon communities to ensure efforts to address local cancer issues are sustainable long-term.

Organizations that are led by and/or those that are committed to serving populations facing cancer health disparities are highly encouraged to apply. Grant TiersΒ The OHSU Knight Cancer Institute provides awards across three tiers. Tier 1: Define Need Develop a local action plan through the identification of cancer priorities based on local capacity building, data collection and analysis. This could be achieved through one of the following: Conduct a community cancer needs assessment to define next steps for addressing a local cancer issue. Establish a committee or coalition to review existing data and collaboratively address a pressing local cancer issue. Tier 2: Develop and Pilot Develop/adapt and pilot a small program, project or activity to determine its feasibility and acceptability for addressing a priority cancer issue(s) or disparity in a specific community. This could be achieved through one of the following strategies: An evidence-based approach or intervention. A newly developed approach. Tier 3: Evaluate and Sustain Evaluate an approach with demonstrated feasibility/acceptability and establish strategies for sustainability. This could be achieved through implementation of one of the following: An evidence-based approach adapted for the target community. A previously piloted project, program, or activity in a specific community.

Eligibility CriteriaΒ Individuals affiliated with community groups/organizations, schools, government bodies, health/medical clinics, health systems or businesses may apply.

While the Community Partnership Program encourages collaboration between community organizations and experts in the field, funds are not intended to solely support the work of an individual who is not affiliated with a community organization. Individuals affiliated with an academic institution or university are required to partner with a local community-based organization to ensure funds are invested into the target community. This partnership should include collaboration on proposal development and, if funded, the community partner should contribute to or lead project implementation. The Community Partnership Program may limit the number of grants made to an organization in a single cycle or cumulatively. In addition, the Steering Committee may prioritize applications that propose a unique or innovative project, thereby reserving the right to deny the funding of proposals that duplicate or are similar in scope to other previously funded and/or proposed CPP projects.
