The Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) Prevention Program is designed to reduce overall cancer incidence and mortality and to improve the lives of individuals who have survived or are living with cancer.
Donor Name: Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas
State: Texas
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline (mm/dd/yyyy): 08/31/2022
Grant Size: $450,000
Grant Duration: 36 months
Details:
The ability to reduce cancer death rates depends in part on the application of currently available evidence-based technologies and strategies. CPRIT will foster the primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention of cancer in Texas by providing financial support for a wide variety of evidence-based risk reduction, early detection, and survivorship interventions.
The Dissemination of CPRIT-Funded Cancer Control Interventions (DI) award mechanism seeks to fund programs that facilitate the sharing of successful CPRIT projects and uptake of CPRIT supported project findings and products through their dissemination and implementation across Texas.
CPRIT seeks to fund projects that will provide one or more of the following:
- Dissemination of intervention implementation resources to public health professionals, health care practitioners, health planners, policymakers, and advocacy groups;
- Dissemination of implementation plans, products, materials, and other resources about an intervention that would provide recipients with the strategies necessary to implement in other settings/systems (eg, quality improvement strategies in a health care system, changes in standards of care);
- Dissemination or scaling up of best practices (infrastructure and project resources) and evidence-based interventions for implementation (eg, implementation guides).

Eligibility Criteria
- The applicant must be a Texas-based entity, such as a community-based organization, health institution, government organization, public or private company, college or university, or academic health institution.
- The applicant is eligible solely for the grant mechanism specified by the RFA under which the grant application was submitted.
- The designated Program Director (PD) will be responsible for the overall performance of the funded project.
- The PD must have relevant education and management experience and must reside in Texas during the project performance time.
- The applicant may submit more than 1 application, but each application must be for distinctly different projects without overlap in the projects. Applicants who do not meet this criterion will have all applications administratively withdrawn without peer review. Collaborations are permitted and encouraged, and collaborators may or may not reside in Texas. However, collaborators who do not reside in Texas are not eligible to receive CPRIT funds. Subcontracting and collaborating organizations may include public, not-for-profit, and for-profit entities. Such entities may be located outside of the State of Texas, but non– Texas-based organizations are not eligible to receive CPRIT funds.
- An applicant organization is eligible to receive a grant award only if the applicant certifies that the applicant organization, including the PD, any senior member or key personnel listed on the grant application, or any officer or director of the grant applicant’s organization (or any person related to 1 or more of these individuals within the second degree of consanguinity or affinity), has not made and will not make a contribution to CPRIT or to any foundation created to benefit CPRIT.
- An applicant is not eligible to receive a CPRIT grant award if the applicant PD, any senior member or key personnel listed on the grant application, or any officer or director of the grant applicant’s organization or institution is related to a CPRIT Oversight Committee member.
- The applicant must report whether the applicant organization, the PD, or other individuals who contribute to the execution of the proposed project in a substantive, measurable way (whether slated to receive salary or compensation under the grant award or not) are currently ineligible to receive federal grant funds because of scientific misconduct or fraud or have had a grant terminated for cause within 5 years prior to the submission date of the grant application.
- CPRIT grants will be awarded by contract to successful applicants. CPRIT grants are funded on a reimbursement-only basis. Certain contractual requirements are mandated by Texas law or by administrative rules. Although applicants need not demonstrate the ability to comply with these contractual requirements at the time the application is submitted, applicants should make themselves aware of these standards before submitting a grant application.
