Description
The CRC Screening Microgrants Program, offered by the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE), provides funding for quality improvement (QI) projects aimed at increasing colonoscopy completion rates following abnormal stool-based tests (SBT) among medically underserved populations in the United States. The program is designed for GI healthcare teams who collaborate with primary care or population health QI teams to address barriers in the colorectal cancer screening continuum. Funded projects may include patient navigation, digital outreach, open-access workflows, and tailored QI frameworks. The initiative emphasizes health equity, institutional capacity building, and the dissemination of best practices through a learning collaborative.
