Fund uses: To address the cancer burden in racial/ethnic minorities and other under-served populations by using
community-based participatory research. The Community Networks Program (CNP) is designed to address the cancer
burden in racial/ethnic minorities and other underserved populations by using Community-Based Participatory Research
(CBPR). This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) solicits applications for CNP Centers that will utilize the
CBPR approach to reduce specific cancer disparities through a combination of outreach, research and training. The goal
of the CNP Centers is to increase knowledge of, access to and utilization of beneficial biomedical and behavioral procedures
related to cancer in areas ranging from prevention to early detection, diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship. In
this CNP issuance, a particular emphasis is on high quality intervention research involving controlled and rigorous studies.
Applicant teams must be based on established partnerships between academic institution(s) and targeted community
entities/community-serving healthcare organizations. The partnering community components are expected to contribute
substantially to the design of the Center programs proposed in the applications.
