The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention - ERA has launched a call for proposals for the Reducing Inequities in Cancer Outcomes through Community-Based Interventions on Social Determinants of Health.

The purpose of this NOFO is to conduct evaluation research to build an evidence base of innovative, community-based interventions across multiple social determinants of health to reduce racial and ethnic disparities related to cancer outcomes. For this NOFO, evaluation research is defined as the systematic application of public health research procedures for assessing the conceptualization, design, implementation, effectiveness and utility of public health interventions. Cancer prevention is defined as reduced population risk for cancer.

The purpose will be achieved through three (3) components:

• Component A: Primary Cancer Prevention – evaluation of the implementation, impact, and causal mechanisms of an intervention’s effect to reduce racial or ethnic inequities in cancer risk at the population level.
• Component B: Cancer Screening – evaluation of the implementation, impact, and causal mechanisms of an intervention’s effect to reduce racial or ethnic inequities in the receipt of appropriate screening services for breast, cervical, colorectal or lung cancer.
• Component C: Health and Wellbeing of Cancer Survivors – evaluation of the implementation, impact, and causal mechanisms of an intervention’s effect to reduce racial or ethnic inequities in the health and wellbeing of cancer survivors.
