About this program
The Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) funds breast and cervical cancer screening and diagnostic services for low-income women, comprehensive cancer control planning and coalition efforts by states and territories, and cancer surveillance registries under Assistance Listing 93.898, with the most recent grant opportunity due February 5, 2027.
Program activity remains current. The most recent award was disbursed June 30, 2022, approximately four years ago. The portfolio shows 83 total cooperative agreement awards spanning from June 2017 to June 2022, with 82 awards in 2017 and 1 award in 2022, reflecting a one-time funding cycle for that cohort. A new competitive NOFO (CDC-RFA-DP-27-0023) was posted September 3, 2026, with a February 5, 2027 due date, indicating active solicitation of new applications. The program's cooperative agreement structure supports initial 1- to 5-year periods of performance, with continuation funding contingent on satisfactory progress and availability of funds.
The program funds three integrated components. Program 1 (National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program) supports direct provision of screening and diagnostic services—including mammography, cervical cancer screening, and patient navigation—to uninsured and underinsured women at or below 250 percent of federal poverty level. Program 2 (National Comprehensive Cancer Control Program) funds state and territorial cancer coalitions to develop and implement evidence-based interventions addressing primary prevention, early detection, survivorship, and health equity through policy, systems, and environmental change strategies. Program 3 (National Program of Cancer Registries) maintains population-based cancer surveillance systems collecting incidence and survival data to monitor burden and guide program planning.
All 83 awards in the recent portfolio are Cooperative Agreements, representing 100 percent of the assistance type mix. The program is administered entirely by CDC's Division of Cancer Prevention and Control, which distributed $1.4 billion in combined federal dollars obligated across the 83 awards. Recent awards demonstrate substantial federal investment: California ($67 million), New York ($69.5 million), Texas ($49.8 million), Washington ($45.6 million), South Carolina ($37.2 million), and Minnesota ($35.4 million) received the largest allocations. Smaller awards to tribal organizations ranged from approximately $700 thousand to $6 million.
Eligible applicants include state health departments, the District of Columbia, US territories and freely associated states (Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, Federated States of Micronesia, Marshall Islands, Palau), federally recognized American Indian tribes, tribal organizations, Alaska Native organizations, and urban Indian organizations. Program 3 (cancer registries) eligibility is restricted to state governments and their bona fide agents. Applications are evaluated on scientific and technical merit through peer review, availability of funds, and alignment with CDC division priorities.
The current NOFO (CDC-RFA-DP-27-0023, due February 5, 2027) supports the same three-program structure and welcomes applications from state, territorial, tribal, and urban Indian health entities. An earlier forecast posting (September 14, 2026) indicated the same opportunity. Prior NOFOs under this Assistance Listing (DP22-2202 in 2021 and DP17-1701 in 2016) operated under identical programmatic frameworks, suggesting continuity of program design and eligibility across funding cycles.
