The National Center for Environmental Health and Children’s Environmental Health Network are accepting applications from communities for the 2025 Cancer and Environment Mini-Grants: Building Unusual Patterns of Cancer and Environmental Concerns opportunity. The deadline to apply is Jan. 13. Please see below for more information. Please contact Sarah Goodwin (sgoodwin@nchh.org) or Ashely Williams (awilliams@nchh.org) with any questions.
To help communities build capacity and advance scientific understanding of unusual patterns of cancer or efforts to understand potential relationships with environmental hazards, the National Center for Healthy Housing (NCHH) and the Children’s Environmental Health Network (CEHN) invite communities to apply for a bundled award of financial and technical support over six months that includes access to technical assistance from a network of national experts, opportunities to engage in peer learning, and a $25,000 grant that may provide funding for unique needs specific to a community or its members when addressing unusual patterns of cancer and environmental concerns.
They are offering these mini-grants to support communities that have concerns about unusual patterns of cancer. Communities will be able to build capacity, make connections with experts who can evaluate cancer data, review existing or new data on environmental hazards, and develop sustainable workplans to facilitate the investigation of cancer and environmental hazards. Grantees will also have opportunities to connect with other communities that have similar concerns.
Local, regional, U.S. territorial, tribal, or state nonprofit and/or community-based groups or organizations are eligible to apply for this grant opportunity.
Note that groups do not need to be a registered nonprofit or 501(c)(3) to apply. Organizations must be based in the United States. For-profit organizations are not eligible to apply.
Applications are due no later than 11:59 p.m. on Monday, January 13, 2025. To preview the application, visit here. To submit an application, visit here. Please contact Sarah Goodwin (sgoodwin@nchh.org) or Ashely Williams (awilliams@nchh.org) with any questions.
