Solicitation Profile
The New York State Department of Health (Department) Bureau of Cancer Prevention and Control (BCPC) seeks applications from organizations that will work in New York State (NYS) communities to prevent and reduce cancer using a policy, systems, and environmental (PSE) change approach with both organizations and municipalities. For information about cancer prevention and control PSE change, see: https://smhs.gwu.edu/cancercontroltap/sites/cancercontroltap/files/PSE_Resource_Guide_FINAL_05.15.15.pdf.

The Department anticipates awarding four contracts for the five-year period, from October 1, 2018 to September 30, 2023. It is our intent to make one award to the four highest scoring applications serving distinct geographic service areas without overlap such that there will not be multiple awards serving the same geographic area. Anticipated funding for each of the four awards will be valued up to $225,000 annually and $1,125,000 over the five-year period for each awardee. The total initiative value for the five-year contract period is $4,500,000.

Organizations receiving Community Cancer Prevention in Action awards as a result of this Request for Applications (RFA) will conduct work that supports priority areas within the Department’s Prevention Agenda 2013-2018: New York State’s Health Improvement Plan and the NYS Comprehensive Cancer Control Plan (Cancer Plan) http://www.nyscancerconsortium.org/documents/NYSCompCancerPlan2012-2017-FINAL.pdf.
