Originally sparked by the need to nimbly respond to the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on cancer care, Emergent Issues in Public Health grants provide up to $250,000 per award to support research that aims to address an emergent issue regarding cancer and public health. Research may relate to the next phase of COVID-19 and cancer research, or other cancer research related to an emergent public health issue.
The CARE Fund Board of Directors is pleased to announce an Emergent Issues in Public Health grant to:
- University of Washington (Principal Investigator: Linda Ko, MPH, PhD)
“Building Capacity of Bilingual and Bicultural Community Health Workers to Implement Evidence-based Cancer Prevention and Control Interventions to Promote Health Equity”
The CARE Fund applauds these awardees for their important work to advance cancer research to improve the quality of life for the people of Washington.
