The Department is accepting proposals to increase chronic disease services for breast and cervical cancer prevention, colorectal cancer prevention, diabetes prevention and self-management, and cancer survivor support. Florida’s aging population is expected to increase the need for access to chronic disease services, including the screening for undiagnosed cancers and activities that improve progression and reduce cancer recurrence risk. Organizations throughout the state work within local health systems to address these growing needs, making coordination between these organizations paramount to reducing the burden of cancer.

Funding is being made available to facilitate health systems change and develop new or enhanced collaborations between partner health systems through adoption of evidence-based intervention (EBI) strategies from the Guide to Community Preventive Services. Applicants awarded for funding will partner with health systems or work internally to implement changes. The changes implemented will improve identification of average and high-risk individuals recommended for chronic disease services and improve referral of average and high-risk individuals to partner agencies for chronic disease services.
 
Grant Opportunities will be opened at the below address at 12:00 P.M., February 28, 2019.
