Description
The IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center's Office of Community Outreach and Engagement is seeking proposals for evidence-based cancer-related programs in Indiana, focusing on significant cancer burdens such as lung, breast, colon, pancreas, prostate, and cervical cancers. Programs should aim to reduce risk behaviors and address cancer incidence and morbidity, especially in underserved populations. Projects must be co-led by an IUSCCC faculty member and a community advocate or partner, with a one-year duration and a budget cap of $15,000. The application process involves a rolling submission of a Letter of Intent followed by a full application upon approval.
