Community Grant

The Great Plains Tribal Chairmen’s Health Board’s Community Health Department is pleased to announce a renewed funding opportunity through the Great Plains Colorectal Cancer Screening Initiative (GPCCSI).  The purpose of the GPCCSI Community Grant Application is to provide support to increase colorectal cancer (CRC) screening rates. The competitive community grant will be awarded to 18 communities to implement activities focusing on Evidence Based Interventions (EBI) for colon cancer screening. The EBI’s implemented in each community will address their CRC screening rates and improve the follow-up of positive Fecal Immunochemical Testing (FIT)/Fecal Occult Blood Testing (FOBT) process through community specific resources.

Please be aware there have been changes to the application for Year 5:

  • Funding amount is $8,500 (page 2)
  • Tracking of returning patients from Year 4 to Year 5 (page 4)
  • 3 out of 4 EBI’s need to be selected (page 4 & 8)
    • If you plan to utilize Gas Cards as part of your project, the EBI, Reducing Structural Barrier’s, must be selected (page 4)

Applications are due by the close of business on August 15, 2019. Please review the Community Grant Application and Sample Attachments for more information:
