  3. Komen’s Mission

  4. Purpose of Komen Community Grants • Increase access and utilization of quality care (Short-term) • Reduce late-stage breast cancer diagnosis and breast cancer mortality (Long-term)

  5. Affiliate Community Grants Process Overview

  6. Request For Applications

  7. Purpose of the RFA • Establishes: • Funding priorities • Application guidelines • Eligibility requirements • Review criteria • Funding caps (grant & services) • (Non-)Allowable Expenses • Tells you EXACTLY what we expect to read in your applications. From there, how much Detail you include in the application is up to you. The More Detailed Your Application, The Better.

  8. RFA Funding Priorities • Patient Navigation • Reducing Barriers to Care • Breast Cancer Education

  9. Funding Priorities: Patient Navigation • Projects that provide evidence-based patient navigation for breast cancer patients that reside in Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean, Salem and Somerset Counties. Patient navigation must follow the individual from abnormal screening to diagnostic resolution and through treatment, if necessary.

  10. Funding Priorities: Reducing Barriers to Care • Evidence-based projects that reduce barriers to quality breast cancer care experienced by uninsured and underinsured individuals residing in Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean, Salem and Somerset Counties. • Komen CSNJ seeks to fund projects that provide no cost or low-cost screening/diagnostic services, mobile mammography, diagnostic/treatment co-pay and deductible assistance, transportation, interpreter services, childcare/eldercare, financial assistance for daily living expenses.

  11. RFA Funding Priorities: Breast Cancer Education • Projects that provide evidence-based and culturally relevant breast cancer education in one-on-one and group settings. Projects must be designed to result in documented age-appropriate, breast cancer action (e.g., getting a screening mammogram, obtaining recommended follow-up after an abnormal mammogram). • Breast cancer education projects should include Komen’s breast self-awareness messages, if appropriate, based on the need, audience and purpose of the educational project. Projects must provide evidence of linkage to local breast cancer services and include follow up with participants.

  12. Key Affiliate Priorities Example:

  14. Additional Points to Consider • Applicants may request funding up to $75,000 (combined direct and indirect costs) for one year. • Collaborative efforts designed to increase program efficiency and impact are strongly encouraged. • Programs must demonstrate they are not duplicating efforts in their community and why they are uniquely able to provide services not otherwise available to medically underserved populations. • Applications must demonstrate and reflect knowledge of changing healthcare landscape related to the Affordable Care Act. • Evidence-based/informed projects are strongly encouraged.

  15. Where to Find Evidence-based Practices • The Community Guide • TheCommunityGuide.org • National Cancer Institute’s Research-Tested Intervention Programs (RTIPs) • rtips.cancer.gov • Cochrane Reviews • CochraneLibrary.com
