(5) Approach components described on FOA pages 15 and Work Plan expectations are listed on FOA page 28

3 Approach-Cancer Burden (0-5 points) How thoroughly does the applicant describes its cancer incidence and mortality? What are the data sources for the incidence and mortality data? Does the applicant reference the State s cancer registry as a data source? How well does the applicant describes its cancer survivor population (percentage of survivors in the population as well as some of the issues or challenges its cancer survivors face.) Look for descriptions of disproportionate health outcomes among disparate populations within applicant s community. RELIABLE TRUSTED SCIENTIFIC DCPC

4 Approach: Achieving Outcomes (0-5) Does the applicant describe how it will achieve the short- and intermediate-term outcomes described in the program logic model? Short-term: At a minimum, look for mention of policy, environmental and health systems change activities to promote or support healthy lifestyle behaviors, cancer screening, and improved quality of life for cancer survivors. Intermediate: At a minimum, look for mention improved access to services and programs and increased use of preventive services, etc. Long-term outcomes may be included.

5 Approach: Maintaining infrastructure (0-5) Is the program staffing limited to 40% of the total budget application? **Note: It is permissible to use contractors to implement specific cancer control plan activities. These contractors do not count towards the 40% staffing requirement. Does the applicant describe a plan for engaging stakeholders and maintaining a cancer coalition? How well does the applicant describe plans to implement activities described in the state s cancer control plan? RELIABLE TRUSTED SCIENTIFIC DCPC

6 Approach: Facilitating Collaboration (0-10) Does the applicant describe a plan to convene and facilitate activities of the required Leadership Team (LT)? The LT is comprised of representation from the state s other cancer prevention and control programs, i.e. the state s CDC-funded Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program, Cancer Registry, and Colorectal Cancer Control Program. (Note**CDC funds 30 CRCCP grantees. Refer to this site ( ) to determine if CDC funds a CRCCP in your applicant s state.) Note- The Leadership Team is a requirement for state applicants only. While applicants from tribes and territories are not specifically required to convene a Leadership Team, they are however, required to collaborate with other programs in their organizations and should describe how that will be accomplished.

7 Approach: Facilitating Collaboration (0-10) cont. At a minimum, applicants must provide Letters of Support (LOS) from: The state s Chronic Disease Director committing support to the collaborative efforts required in this FOA, as appropriate. The state s current CDC-funded Colorectal Cancer Control Program manager (as applicable), as well as the state applicants requesting consideration for NBCCEP and NPCR program funding through this opportunity. Each letter must commit support and participation on the State Leadership Team. Tribal and Territorial applicants requesting funding for multiple components through this opportunity must also submit similar letters supporting collaboration across those components.

8 Approach: Facilitating Collaboration (0-10) Letters of Support cont. A letter of support from its Cancer Coalition Chair committing support for activities to revise and update the state s cancer plan as appropriate and implement state cancer plan priorities. A minimum of 3 letters from state or local partners committing support of activities to implement cancer plan priorities at the local level. RELIABLE TRUSTED SCIENTIFIC DCPC

9 Approach: Facilitating Collaboration (0-10) cont. In addition to collaborating with the state s CDC-funded cancer programs, applicants are also expected to describe proposed collaborations with other CDC-funded chronic disease programs, i.e. the state s tobacco control, diabetes prevention, and physical activity and nutrition programs. Applicants should also propose collaborations with CDCfunded programs, such as immunization programs, school health programs, hepatitis programs, etc. While we have not specified a specific number of collaborations, we do expect the selected collaborations to be based on burden and impact potential.

10 Approach: Collaborations with non-cdc funded programs (0-5) Similar to collaborations with other CDC-funded programs, applicants are expected to describe proposed collaborations with other national, state, local partners to leverage and maximize the state s capacity to effectively implement cancer plan priorities. Collaborators could include: American Cancer Society, Prevention Research Centers, Comprehensive Cancer Centers, Primary Care Associations, Federally Qualified Health Centers, and other organizations RELIABLE TRUSTED SCIENTIFIC DCPC

11 Approach: Plans to use surveillance data (0-5) Applicant must describe how cancer risk factor and surveillance data will be used to inform implementation efforts.

12 Approach: Core Interventions (0-5) * Core Intervention strategies are to be selected using the LIDS tool. (See handouts) Applicants must: Describe core interventions that will enhance: social and physical environments increase preventive health services or health care extender services promote clinical care Describe how these efforts will: emphasize primary prevention of cancer promote early detection and screening improve the quality of life among cancer survivors

13 Approach: Disparities (0-5) Applicant is expected to describe how chosen strategies will improve health status for the entire population as well as seek to reduce the disparities we see in health outcomes by targeting some efforts on specific population groups disproportionately affected by cancer.

14 Evaluation and Performance Measurement (0-20 points) Applicants are required to: Develop an initial evaluation and performance measurement plan (10) Plan should evaluate activities to: Assess coalition effectiveness and contribution to the implementation of program priorities Use appropriate data to inform program practice Implement statewide cancer plan activities Plan program sustainability and resource allocation Use evidence-based approaches to address cancer burden in the general population as well as the target populations. The plan follows the CDC Evaluation Framework (10) Evaluation Plan components included on FOA page 24
