Community Partnership Program Impact

The Community Partnership Program aims to reduce the cancer burden statewide.
The OHSU Knight Cancer Institute, in its overarching mission to end cancer as we know it, developed the Community Partnership Program in 2014 to reduce the cancer burden statewide. From the beginning, the program has focused on three guiding principles: grantmaking, building communities’ capacity and enhancing community collaboration. Grants fund projects anywhere along the cancer continuum from prevention and early detection to survivorship.
