Solicitation Profile
The New York State (NYS) Department of Health (Department) seeks applications to implement breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer services programs (CSP), to reduce morbidity, mortality and health-related disparities among NYS residents. These programs will facilitate access to high-quality breast, cervical and colorectal cancer screening and diagnostic follow-up services for residents within their service regions, with a focus on those populations that are disproportionately burdened by the increased risk of cancer or are medically unserved or underserved. Up to 22 awards will be made, one in each of 22 service regions (see Attachment 1 CSP Service Regions).

Awardees will: 1) Implement a program to provide free breast, cervical and colorectal cancer screening, diagnostic follow-up services and referrals to treatment to uninsured and underinsured women and men who are at or below 250% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) and meet other program requirements. 2) Assist with enrollment in the NYS Medicaid Cancer Treatment Program (MCTP) for eligible individuals diagnosed with breast, cervical, colorectal or prostate cancer (https://www.health.ny.gov/diseases/cancer/treatment/mctp/). 3) Conduct needs assessments and identify, develop, implement and evaluate interventions to increase breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer screening and address barriers among priority populations who are disproportionately burdened by an increased risk of cancer and/or who are medically unserved or underserved. Such individuals include those who experience barriers to services due to sex, race, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, geographic location, socioeconomic status, cultural isolation, low literacy, and language. 4) Engage with health care providers/systems to implement evidence-based and evidence-informed interventions, including but not limited to patient navigation services, to identify and assist them to increase cancer screening and follow-up diagnostic services among their client populations, regardless of client insurance and income status. 5) Collaborate with Department and HRI-funded contractors from other cancer screening-related initiatives that address structural barriers and offer cancer screening, including but not limited to mobile mammography vans, patient navigation and peer education programs. To receive a list of these contractors, email a request to: canserv@health.ny.gov using the subject line RFA 17682, DOH01- CSP1-2018 Contractor List.

PLEASE NOTE: A Letter of Interest is not required; but it is strongly encouraged. Please see the RFA for further information. Questions are due February 8, 2018 and answers will be posted on or about February 22, 2018.
