Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA DP18 1802
The CDC funding opportunity titled "National Partnerships to Promote Cancer Surveillance Standards and Support Data Quality and Operations of National Program of Cancer Registries" (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA DP18-1802) is a discretionary cooperative agreement designed to strengthen national-level partnerships that directly support how cancer data are collected, standardized, and reported across the United States. The work is anchored in the long-running National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR), established after the Cancer Registries Amendment Act of 1992, which gathers information on cancer occurrence, stage/extent of disease, treatment, and outcomes. NPCR covers more than 45 states and jurisdictions and represents about 96 percent of the U.S. population, making it a core source for the official federal U.S. Cancer Statistics. The overall intent of this grant is to improve both the quality of cancer surveillance data and the operational efficiency of the NPCR system by coordinating and reinforcing uniform standards that are used nationwide.
At the center of the opportunity is the idea that data quality and comparability depend on shared rules and consistent implementation. The CDCs Division of Cancer Prevention and Control (DCPC) has a history of working with national organizations to define standardized practices and to ensure that cancer registry data are complete, timely, and accurate. This cooperative agreement continues that approach by funding a small number of partners to help translate standards into everyday practice, identify gaps and enhancement needs across registries, and provide practical support to the people and organizations that generate and submit the data. The emphasis is not only on defining standards, but also on helping the field apply them consistently so that cancer statistics can be trusted across geography, time, and reporting sources.
The program is organized around three essential components. First, recipients are expected to support education, translation, and quality control related to cancer surveillance standards and best practices. In practice, this means helping the broader cancer surveillance workforce understand changing requirements, implementing consistent coding and reporting practices, and strengthening quality assurance approaches so data are not just collected, but collected correctly and in a way that can be compared across systems. This component targets the real-world challenge that standards evolve, but adoption can be uneven unless training, guidance, and validation practices keep pace.
Second, the award supports cancer staging collaboration and support. Staging is one of the most important and technically complex pieces of cancer surveillance because it affects how cases are interpreted for clinical outcomes, survival analysis, and population trends. The goal is to collaboratively define and promote uniform staging standards, and to support registries and surveillance professionals as staging rules change or become more detailed. Consistent staging improves comparability across reporting entities and improves the usefulness of registry data for public health planning, evaluation, and research.
Third, the opportunity focuses on standardization and support for laboratory and biomarker electronic reporting. As cancer diagnosis and treatment increasingly rely on biomarkers and laboratory results, registries need more standardized, electronic pathways to receive and interpret these data. This component is aimed at improving how laboratories and other reporters submit biomarker and related information in a structured, standardized way. Strengthening electronic reporting reduces manual burden, improves timeliness, and can reduce errors that occur when information is abstracted inconsistently from narrative reports.
Across all three components, the recipients role is to identify specific enhancement needs of cancer registries and provide support to the full chain of cancer surveillance contributors. That includes reporters such as hospitals, facilities, and laboratories; tumor registrars who abstract and code cases; and the central cancer registries that compile and submit data to NPCR. The end result CDC is seeking is high-quality, standardized data that flow efficiently from local sources through central registries and into the national NPCR system, strengthening the reliability of national cancer surveillance products.
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically signals substantial CDC involvement in collaboration, technical guidance, and coordination rather than a hands-off grant relationship. The opportunity was open to unrestricted eligible applicants (subject to any additional eligibility clarifications in the full notice). The CFDA numbers associated with the opportunity are 93.283 and 93.422. The anticipated award structure included up to three awards, with an award ceiling of $1,045,000. The notice was created February 2, 2018, with an original application closing date of April 20, 2018, and electronic submissions due by 11:59 p.m. ET on the deadline.
Finally, the opportunity makes clear that recipients will be assessed using relevant performance measures tied to activities that strengthen standards, data quality, and operational performance within the NPCR cancer surveillance system. In other words, success is expected to be measurable in how well partners improve standard adoption, increase data quality and completeness, and streamline or modernize reporting and registry operations that support the national cancer statistics infrastructure.Apply for CDC RFA DP18 1802
