Through this Request For Proposals, the Lance Armstrong Foundation ( http://www.livestrong.org/ ) seeks to create a community of individuals and organizations across the United States that both understands the challenges and opportunities that a cancer experience presents and is committed to collaborating to address and resolve the physical, emotional, and practical issues faced by cancer survivors.

To that end, the foundation is offering the following grant types during the 2007 grant cycle:

Community Program Grants — Implementation grants will be awarded in the amount of up to $25,000 per year for up to two years. It is estimated that ten implementation grants will be awarded in this funding cycle. Evolution grants will be awarded in the amount of up to $100,000 over two years or up to $150,000 each over three years. It is estimated that three evolution grants will be awarded in this funding cycle.

Research Program Grants — Community-Based Participatory Research Planning grants will be awarded in the amount of up to $25,000 over one to two years. It is estimated that five CBPR planning grants will be awarded in this funding cycle.
