III. Eligibility Information
III.1. Eligible Applicants
Applications may be submitted by
public and private nonprofit and for
profit organizations and by governments
and their agencies, such as:
• Public nonprofit organizations.
• Private nonprofit organizations.
• For profit organizations.
• Universities.
• Research institutions.
• Hospitals.
• Community-based organizations.
Competition is limited to the National
Cancer Institutes (NCI)—39 designated
Comprehensive Cancer Centers (CCC).
Congress strongly encourages CDC to
support activities related to the
development of interactive Web based
education for health care providers on
the signs, symptoms and current
treatment of blood cancer by
comprehensive cancer centers. The
CCCs provide a unique opportunity to
address barriers to prevention and
screening, improve quality of care, and
improve the priority population’s access
to cancer prevention, early detection,
and survivorship programs. The centers
conduct extensive ancillary cancer-
related activities such as outreach,
education and information
dissemination. Through all of these
activities combined, the centers play an
important role in their communities and
regions and serve to influence standards
of cancer prevention and treatment
related to promotion of hematological
health education, awareness, and
information dissemination. Distinct
from other cancer centers the CCCs have
been recognized as all-encompassing in
scope (e.g. outreach, education, and
information dissemination), innovative
VerDate jul<14>2003 16:15 Jul 11, 2005 Jkt 205001
in approach, and inclusive in their
design to develop interventions that can
reach all American. They serve as the
classified cornerstone by NCI in
influencing standards of cancer
prevention and treatment in the cancer
community. The list of applicants may
be found at: http://www3.cancer.gov/

communities and community
institutions to increase the quality,
availability, and effectiveness of
educational and community-based
programs designed to prevent disease,
improve health and quality of life,
embrace diversity, connect people and
