Accelerating Cancer Screening (AxCS) funding supports health centers to increase equitable access to cancer screening and referral for care and treatment by enhancing education, case management, outreach, and other enabling services, in close partnership or coordination with National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated Cancer Centers that will deploy outreach specialists and patient navigators for populations served by health centers.
FY 2023 Highlights
On this page:
Summary
This funding supports President Biden's call to action on cancer screening and early detection as part of the Administration's Cancer Moonshot initiative to reduce the cancer death rate by at least 50% over the next 25 years and support families living with and surviving cancer.
Award recipients will use AxCS funds to achieve two objectives:
- Increase the number and percentage of patients screened for at least one of the following cancer types: cervical, breast, or colorectal.
- Increase the number of patients assisted with accessing appropriate follow-up care (e.g., diagnostic services, therapies, clinical trials) within 30 days of receiving an abnormal cancer screening test result.
AxCS funding will support activities in the following areas:
- Access and affordability;
- Patient experience;
- Screening; and
- Workforce development.
