Description
The Maryland Department of Health is issuing a Request for Applications (RFA) to provide funds to Federally Qualified Health Centers, primary care clinics, and/or health systems with primary care clinics to implement evidence-based interventions and quality improvement methods to increase clinic-level colorectal cancer screening rates. The goal is to target populations aged 45 to 75 years in clinics with a current CRC screening rate under 60%.
• The grant is multi-year, going through June 30, 2030.
• Applicants must submit an annual continuing application, updating the workplan and budget.
• The RFA is open to health centers with a single site, but they may need to subcontract with another health center to meet the criteria.
• The grant aims to increase CRC screening rates in clinics with low current rates.
