Breast Cancer Community Education Grants for ONS Chapters support chapter-led, nurse-directed education for patients and community audiences to increase breast cancer awareness.
Funder: Oncology Nursing Foundation
Due Dates: Rolling (until funds are expended) | At least two weeks before program start (application receipt)
Funding Amounts: Up to $1,000 per grant
Summary: Supports ONS Chapters in planning and implementing nurse-directed, community-focused breast cancer education and awareness programs.
Key Information: Programs must be ONS Chapter activities and cannot restrict attendance to an institution, hospital, hospital network, or nurse work setting.
The Oncology Nursing Foundation funds this initiative through a grant from AstraZeneca HealthCare Foundation to increase breast cancer awareness in communities. It supports qualified ONS Chapters across the United States in planning and implementing nurse-directed educational programs for patients and community audiences.
The emphasis is on community education rather than research or work-based educational activities. Chapter members are involved in delivering programs with a defined audience, location, anticipated attendance, and educational content. Applicants describe the proposed activity, identify the chapter member responsible for it, and explain how both funding organizations will be recognized.
