Florida Cancer Program - The Florida Department of Health Application for Cancer Prevention and Control Programs for States, Territorial and Tribal Organizations The Florida Department of Health's application for the funding opportunity announcement DP22-2202 Cancer Prevention and Control Programs for States, Territorial and Tribal Organizations institutionalizes a platform for the coordination and integration of long-standing cancer control activities at the state and local level. The continuation of collaborative efforts will be further enhanced by greater integration among the Florida Cancer Programs’ three components, the Florida Breast and Cervical Early Detection Program, the Florida Comprehensive Cancer Control Program, the Florida National Program of Cancer Registries. Programs will underscore increased coordination by emphasizing a stronger planning, evaluation and health equity focus over the next five years. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) stated goals to eliminate preventable cancers, ensure all people get the right screening at the right time for the best outcome, and support cancer survivors in a manner that allows them to live longer, healthier lives. Florida intends to meet these goals by strengthening cancer networks across the state and supporting data driven, policy focused initiatives that utilize recommended evidence-based strategies and advance health equity within the cancer burden. A higher level of data detail will be collected and analyzed to improve policy, systems, and environmental changes in cancer prevention and control and inform local interventions accordingly. Florida is well positioned to respond to this opportunity since the current three CDC funded programs for cancer control are integrated and are managed cooperatively. Florida has long-established relationships with partner organizations, experienced staff in all key program components, proven program service delivery procedures to enhance community and clinical linkages, integration of cancer data and registry staff in planning and execution of local, regional and statewide efforts, and clearly identified priority goals from the 2020 the Florida Cancer Plan. Efforts are developed in collaboration with a statewide cancer coalition (the Cancer Control and Research Advisory Council), seventeen regional coordinators who network with providers and community partners to recruit eligible women for breast and cervical cancer screenings, and six regional cancer control collaboratives who develop regional action plans selected among priority objectives and strategies in the Florida Cancer Plan. The Cancer Prevention and Control Program will further the CDC goals and the Florida Cancer Plan priorities facilitated by agreements with Florida's Health Councils, County Health Departments, and Federally Qualified Health Centers and in coordination with the state's cancer councils, National Cancer Institute designated cancer centers, Florida Cancer Centers of Excellence, collaboratives, and previous and new health partners.
