COMMUNITY BASED CANCER-CONTROL: A SEMINAR FOR AMERICAN INDIAN AND ALASKA NATIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH ADVOCATES
MARCH 8-13, 2009
PORTLAND, OREGON
All communities have unmet health needs. Sometimes it is hard to determine exactly what those needs are, and often it is hard to get programs funded…Researchers can help quantify health needs, but there is frequently a disconnect between what the community wants and what the researcher wants. That's where a partnership between research and communities can help.
The goal of this program is to provide community members with the tools to approach researchers, identify research questions, write grants and collaborate on projects that address cancer health disparities. This training seminar is open to tribal community members with an interest in improving cancer prevention, screening, and treatment in his or her community. Throughout the week, participants will become familiar with elements of writing a winning community-based grant. Seminar topics will cover the following grant-writing basics: where to locate funding sources, how to establish grant-writing goals and objectives, how to develop a budget, and more.
Successful applicants receive a scholarship covering travel, hotel, per diem meal allowance, and course materials.
A brochure with an application form and draft agenda are attached to this e-mail.
