Description
The Colorado Cancer Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Disease (CCPD) Grant Program provides funding to organizations and researchers for projects that address prevention, early detection, and treatment of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and chronic pulmonary disease in Colorado. The program is rooted in a commitment to health and racial equity, aiming to reduce chronic disease disparities and improve health outcomes statewide. Funding priorities and strategies are guided by the Long-Term Funding Framework (LTFF), which is developed through a transparent, evidence-informed process involving community and expert input.
Projects funded by CCPD typically include policy, systems, and environmental changes; primary and secondary prevention; healthcare integration; chronic disease management; and innovative, cross-cutting approaches. Special emphasis is placed on serving priority populations—such as rural, low-SES, and communities of color—and addressing structural inequities in healthcare access and outcomes.
