Grant Description

The purpose of the program is to identify international cancer control practices that can be applied to our domestic programs. Program activities will focus on 1) the establishment or strengthening of high quality cancer registries through establishment of centers for excellence in U.S. territories and other CDC global focus regions, 2) technical exchanges between CDC and the awardee, 3) consultations from global experts to help inform CDCуs priority cancer activities, and 4) collaboration on the development and dissemination of monographs and other publications that promote evidence-based prevention for cervical (and other HPV-related), breast, lung, skin, colorectal and other types of cancer. Together, these activities represent an important opportunity for CDC to strengthen its programs in cancer prevention and control. CDCуs contribution to these efforts will directly benefit state, tribal, and territorial cancer prevention and control activities by strengthening CDCуs own capacity for cancer surveillance, research, and programmatic activities through technical exchange and global collaboration.
