Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA DP17 1701
The CDC's Division of Cancer Prevention and Control (DCPC) funding opportunity CDC RFA DP17-1701, titled "Cancer Prevention and Control Programs for State, Territorial, and Tribal Organizations," is a Fiscal Year 2017 cooperative agreement designed to strengthen cancer prevention and control work across the United States and its jurisdictions. The core idea of the announcement is to help public health agencies and eligible tribal and territorial entities run coordinated, evidence-based cancer initiatives that go beyond isolated programs and instead drive policy, systems, and environmental changes. In practical terms, the opportunity is built to improve access to proven screening services, build and sustain broad cancer coalitions that set and carry out cancer control priorities, and maintain strong surveillance systems that track cancer burden and outcomes so decision-making is grounded in reliable data.
The FOA is structured around three major national programs, each with a distinct role in a comprehensive cancer control ecosystem. First is the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP), which is the largest funding component at roughly $155 million per year. Under this component, up to 75 awards are anticipated for eligible applicants such as state health departments, the District of Columbia (or bona fide agents), U.S. territories and Pacific Island jurisdictions, and federally recognized American Indian Tribes and related tribal entities (including Tribal Organizations, Alaska Native Organizations, and Urban Indian Organizations). The program focus is twofold: delivering high-quality breast and cervical cancer screening and diagnostic services to uninsured and underinsured women, and implementing evidence-based approaches that reduce structural barriers to screening within health systems. This reflects an emphasis not only on paying for or providing screenings, but also on making screening easier to access and complete through improvements in how health systems reach, refer, schedule, and support eligible patients.
Second is the National Comprehensive Cancer Control Program (NCCCP), funded at approximately $22 million per year, with up to 65 awards. Eligibility covers one award per state and the District of Columbia, plus U.S. territories and eligible federally recognized tribal and urban Indian entities. This program centers on sustaining and empowering statewide (or jurisdiction-wide) cancer coalitions that bring together public health agencies, healthcare systems, community organizations, academia, and other partners. These coalitions are expected to use evidence-based strategies to address the full cancer continuum: primary prevention (such as reducing tobacco use and promoting healthy behaviors), early detection (supporting screening and timely follow-up), survivorship (addressing the needs of people living with and beyond cancer), and health equity (reducing disparities in risk, screening, treatment access, and outcomes). In other words, the coalition piece is meant to organize and align partners and resources so that cancer control planning turns into coordinated action.
Third is the National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR), funded at approximately $38 million per year, with up to 55 awards expected. Eligible applicants include state health departments, the District of Columbia (or bona fide agents), and U.S. territories. The goal here is to operate and improve population-based central cancer registries that systematically collect, manage, analyze, and report cancer data. These registries are critical public health infrastructure because they provide the data needed to understand which cancers are increasing or decreasing, where disparities persist, and how prevention, screening, and treatment efforts may be affecting outcomes over time. This FOA also includes an optional add-on for eligible NPCR recipients to pilot public health prevention surveillance projects, with about $1.6 million per year available for this optional work. The pilot areas are specifically focused on expanding surveillance to capture (1) cervical cancer precursors, (2) screening data for breast and cervical cancer cases, and (3) new or emerging prognostic factors, all of which can add depth to prevention and early detection monitoring.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement mechanism, meaning recipients should expect substantial CDC involvement through collaboration, technical assistance, performance monitoring, and shared implementation expectations typical of cooperative agreements. The CFDA number listed is 93.898. The opportunity was created on December 15, 2016, with an original application closing date of February 20, 2017, and electronic submissions due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the deadline. The listed award ceiling is $9,000,000, and the expected number of total awards is 85, reflecting that the overall FOA bundles multiple program components with different anticipated award counts and funding levels.
Overall, DP17-1701 is essentially a bundled cancer prevention and control investment strategy: it funds direct screening services for breast and cervical cancer for underserved populations, supports coalition-led comprehensive cancer control planning and implementation across prevention through survivorship with an explicit equity lens, and underwrites the cancer registry systems that supply the data needed to measure burden, identify gaps, and track progress.Apply for CDC RFA DP17 1701
