American Cancer Society
The American Cancer Society is the nationwide, community-based,
voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a
major health problem by preventing cancer, saving lives, and
diminishing suffering from cancer, through research, education,
advocacy, and service.
Cancer
Research Network
The overall goal of the CRN, and the NCI initiative under which it
was funded, is to use this consortium of delivery systems to
conduct research on cancer prevention, early detection, treatment,
long-term care and surveillance. A portfolio of research studies
encompasses cancer control topics ranging from modification of
behavioral risk factors such as smoking to cancer care at the end
of life.
CRN Special Interest Groups
Scientific Interest Groups (SIGs) are initiated and led by
investigators with shared interests in emerging areas of
high-priority research. The purpose of SIGs is to offer a venue for
investigators to discuss shared interests and provide space to
develop opportunities. A SIG is a forum for investigators to
identify new ideas and partners.
Center for Health Education Dissemination and
Implementation Research
The vision for the Center for Health Education Dissemination and
Implementation Research (CHEDIR) is to advance the field of
dissemination and implementation research and to offer concrete
assistance to narrow the gap between health research, practice and
policy. We will do this by partnership and offering tools and
technical assistance at the planning, implementation, evaluation,
and reporting stages for interventions.
HMO Research Network
The HMO Research Network is an organization of HMO research
programs whose mission is to use our collective scientific
capabilities to integrate research and practice for the improvement
of health and health care among diverse populations.
Lance Armstrong Foundation
At the Lance Armstrong Foundation, we unite people to fight cancer
believing that unity is strength, knowledge is power and attitude
is everything.
Susan G.
Komen Foundation
Susan G. Komen fought breast cancer with her heart, body and soul.
Throughout her diagnosis, treatments, and endless days in the
hospital, she spent her time thinking of ways to make life better
for other women battling breast cancer instead of worrying about
her own situation. That concern for others continued even as Susan
neared the end of her fight. Moved by Susan's compassion for others
and committed to making a difference, Nancy G. Brinker promised her
sister that she would do everything in her power to end breast
cancer forever.
That promise is now Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, the global leader of the breast cancer movement, having invested more than $1 billion since inception in 1982. As the world's largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists, we're working together to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures. Thanks to events like the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure®, and generous contributions from our partners, sponsors and fellow supporters, we have become the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world.
Cancer Communication Funding
Opportunities
One purpose of the CRN Cancer Communication Research Center is to
help researchers and practitioners who are interested in conducting
research about cancer communication to identify funding
opportunities.
A number of funding opportunities are available depending on the purpose, focus, and scale of the research question. The following list summarizes several opportunities that researchers and practitioners might consider when planning to apply for funding.
