Department of Health and Human Services: Cancer Education Grants Program (R25)

The NCI Cancer Education Grant Program (CEGP) uses the NIH R25 grant mechanism to provide funding for the development of: (i) cancer education programs; and (ii) cancer research dissemination projects that can be completed within 5 years. (i) Cancer education grants may target science or health care students, established cancer scientists, and health care providers. Grants that target community health care providers are intended to provide information needed to facilitate the diffusion of evidence-based findings. Grants that are aimed at educating students, cancer scientists, cancer care professionals, clinicians, and/or community health providers, may develop and use primarily curriculum-based educational experiences. (ii) Research dissemination grants target public health workers, community organization partners, and clinicians who need the knowledge and tools to both implement and disseminate information about cancer prevention and control programs into patient and lay community populations. Applications proposing cancer research dissemination projects must be based on solid, rigorous, and up-to-date cancer research and should involve defined schemes for the dissemination of relevant knowledge and information.
