Community Program/Community-Based Participatory Research
Through this Request For Proposals (RFP), the LAF seeks to create a community of individuals and organizations nationwide that both understands the challenges and opportunities that a cancer experience presents for a lifetime and is committed to collaborating to address and resolve the physical, emotional, and practical issues faced by cancer survivors. Through the responsible investment of LAF resources in community-centered initiatives, we join our fellow organizations in reaching out to the underserved, raising and addressing neglected survivorship issues, and impacting all survivors across the United States in a personal, meaningful way.
The LAF is offering the following grant types during the 2007 grant cycle:
Community Program Grants
*
Implementation grants will be awarded in the amount of up to $25,000/year for up to two years. It is estimated that ten (10) implementation grants will be funded in this cycle.
*
Evolution grants will be awarded in the amount of up to $100,000 over two (2) years OR up to
$150,000 over three (3) years. It is estimated that three (3) evolution grants will be funded in this cycle.
Research Program Grants
*
Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) Planning grants will be awarded in the amount of up to a total of $25,000 over 1-2 years. It is estimated that five (5) CBPR planning grants will be funded in this grant cycle.
The LAF is issuing a limited research RFP for community-based participatory research through the 2007 RFP. We will not issue a general survivorship research RFP this year. We will award grants to the top-rated, unfunded proposals received through the 2006 RFP. In general, we plan to assess our current portfolio and identify the greatest areas of need where we can make an impact in the future and maximize the effectiveness of our research program.
