Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA DP19 1906

The grant opportunity titled "Multiple Approaches to Support Young Breast Cancer Survivors and Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients" (CDC RFA DP19-1906) is a CDC-funded cooperative agreement designed to expand and improve supportive services for young breast cancer survivors (YBCS), young women living with metastatic breast cancer (mBC), and the caregivers and family members who support them. At its core, the program is meant to strengthen the organizations already serving these communities and help them deliver more accessible, more relevant, and more equitable services, with a strong emphasis on reducing real-world gaps in survivorship outcomes and quality of life that are driven by race, ethnicity, and other social determinants of health.

A major focus of the funded work is building stronger systems around survivors and caregivers, not just offering isolated programs. Awardees are expected to establish or strengthen networks of survivors and caregivers that can act as a platform for policy, systems, and environmental changes. The intent is to go beyond individual-level education and instead support interventions that make it easier for survivors to access lifestyle programs, clinical preventive services, and appropriate ongoing cancer care. In practice, this could include coordinated partnerships, referral pathways, and community-level approaches that reduce common barriers such as lack of transportation, limited service availability, fragmented care coordination, or culturally mismatched services.

Another key strategy emphasized in the opportunity is improving provider knowledge and practice through innovative, technology-based education. The grant supports the development and implementation of modern training and educational tools for health care providers that are specifically relevant to caring for young survivors and metastatic patients. This includes topics tied to age-appropriate treatment and survivorship care, the distinct psychosocial and reproductive health concerns faced by younger patients, and the complex care needs of metastatic disease. The emphasis on technology suggests scalable approaches such as online learning modules, virtual trainings, decision-support resources, or other digital formats that can reach providers across settings and reduce variation in care quality.

The opportunity also prioritizes outreach to underserved groups through patient navigation and community health worker approaches. Awardees are expected to use navigation strategies to help people find, access, and stay connected to supportive services and clinical care, especially in populations that have historically faced barriers to timely, high-quality cancer care. Patient navigation and community health workers can help address practical obstacles (insurance challenges, appointment scheduling, transportation), informational obstacles (understanding treatment options and follow-up needs), and trust or communication barriers that often contribute to poorer outcomes in marginalized communities.

Equity and disparity reduction are not framed as optional add-ons in this program; they are central performance expectations. Funded organizations are intended to implement strategies that directly target disparities in survival and quality of life linked to race, ethnicity, and other social determinants of health. The program also highlights inclusive support for all YBCS and mBC patients regardless of race, ethnicity, age, or sexual orientation, signaling that services and provider resources should be culturally responsive and appropriate for diverse communities, including LGBTQ+ individuals and other groups who may experience gaps in tailored survivorship support.

Administratively, this is a discretionary cooperative agreement under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), within NCCDPHP, and it falls under CFDA 93.376. A cooperative agreement typically means CDC expects substantial involvement beyond standard grant oversight, such as collaboration on strategy, technical assistance, or shared program direction. The total funding structure described includes an award ceiling of $600,000, with an anticipated 7 awards. The original funding announcement was created on February 20, 2019, with an application deadline of April 30, 2019 (11:59 p.m. ET), and the period of performance listed runs from 09/30/2019 through 09/22/2024.

Eligibility is broad and includes many types of entities across government, education, tribal organizations, nonprofits (with and without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (including small businesses), and other eligible categories as described in the notice. Overall, the grant is structured to mobilize multiple approaches at once: survivor and caregiver networks that can drive systems change, technology-forward training for clinicians, and navigation/community health worker models to reduce barriers, all aligned toward expanding supportive services and closing inequity gaps for young breast cancer survivors and metastatic breast cancer patients.
