Solicitation Profile
PLEASE NOTE: Addendum #1 dated 12/6/18 has been issued for this RFA in regard to hyperlink updates. Please refer to the full RFA document for further details.

The purpose of the Healthcare Practitioner Breast Cancer Education Research Projects RFA is to facilitate the delivery of superior breast healthcare in New York State through an investment in the planning, development, implementation, rigorous evaluation and revision of innovative breast cancer education and communication training programs for healthcare practitioners and students of these professions. These research projects will focus on developing programs to enhance the ability of healthcare practitioners and students to become partners with their breast cancer patients and to communicate accurately and effectively with patients, survivors, and patients’ families.

Successful research will expand the means to improve patient health literacy as it relates to breast health. Knowledgeable healthcare practitioners who can communicate with clarity, respect and motivational skill will enhance the ability of patients to partner fully in their breast health treatment decisions and empower patients to accept responsibility for important aspects of self-care and monitoring. Practitioners who acquire these skills and embrace these attitudes will facilitate the development of health literacy in their patients and improve their own abilities to partner with patients, thus improving medical outcomes and the patient’s quality of life.
