Cancer Institute NSW to fund grants to improve Indigenous cancer outcomes

The Cancer Institute of New South Wales (NSW) is seeking expressions of interest in three new grants to support organisations working to improve cancer outcomes.

As part of the Institute's Cancer services and information (CSI) cross-divisional program, grants will be provided to stakeholders, to either extend a current activity, or undertake a discrete small piece of work that are consistent with the below initiatives:

• improving cancer outcomes for Aboriginal people
• improving cancer outcomes for people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds
• improving cancer outcomes for people in rural and remote NSW
• greater system-wide engagement with primary care.

The Institute will work through the provision of $600,000 to provide grants, which will be allocated via an expression of interest process. The grants are one off and any activities undertaken must be sustainable without further funding from the Cancer Institute NSW.

Expressions of interest must be submitted by 9 April 2012. Further information, including forms, can be found on the Cancer Institute NSW website.
