Cancer Prevention and Control Programs for State, Territorial, and Tribal Organizations

This CDC Funding Opportunity Announcement (NOFO) seeks cooperative‑agreement partners to implement three national cancer‑prevention programs: (1) the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) – provides breast and cervical cancer screening and diagnostic follow‑up for low‑income women, with an optional component for evidence‑based interventions; (2) the National Comprehensive Cancer Control Program (NCCCP) – funds state, territorial, and tribal coalitions to develop and execute evidence‑based cancer‑control plans; and (3) the National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR) – supports population‑based cancer registry infrastructure. Funding will be awarded to eligible state health departments, U.S. territories, freely associated states, and federally recognized tribal entities (or their bona‑fide agents). A total of 196 awards are anticipated, with an estimated aggregate funding of $1.26 billion. Applicants must submit a cooperative‑agreement application by 11:59 pm ET on 02 Feb 2027.
