Description

The Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities (CRCHD) of the National Cancer Institute (NCI), in partnership with the NCI Office of Cancer Centers (OCC), announces this opportunity to compete for administrative supplements to Cancer Center Support Grants (CCSGs; P30s) for NCI-designated Cancer Centers (CCs) to each recruit a Community Health Educator (CHE). The purpose of this administrative supplement funding opportunity is to support a strengthening of community outreach capacity by working through the National Outreach Network (NON). It is expected that NON CHEs, located at NCI-designated CCs, will enhance the development and dissemination of culturally appropriate, evidence-based cancer information to members of underserved communities including rural and racial/ethnic populations (e.g., African American/Black, American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian, Hispanic/Latino, Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander) in a way that is tailored to their specific needs.
