Our Mission

The Cancer Prevention and Control Program (CPCP) works closely with individuals, organizations, and communities to encourage and make possible cancer prevention, early detection, and appropriate care for those diagnosed with cancer.  The CPCP has many current projects, in which research findings are used for planning, monitoring, and evaluating cancer prevention and detection activities throughout the state.  We are committed to finding solutions to ease the burden of cancer affecting our residents.

PI:  Dr. James R. Hébert


How would you like the chance to be awarded a $10,000 grant to improve the health of others? 

The South Carolina Cancer Prevention and Control Research Network (SC-CPCRN) focuses on community-based cancer prevention and the reduction of health disparities in the state of South Carolina. The vision of the SC-CPCRN is to work with the community to implement research tested programs that will significantly reduce the burden of cancer, especially among those disproportionately affected. 

In summer 2011, the Community Health Intervention Program (CHIP) will be awarding three (3) $10,000 mini-grants to organizations in South Carolina that aim to implement intervention programs that will lead to improvements in health outcomes in their communities. The mini-grant should be used to support the implementation of evidence based community health programs that support the mission of reducing health disparities and improving health outcomes for South Carolinians.  You must select a program from the approved CHIP List we provide. The CHIP List is located here: CHIP List_2011.pdf. 

If you are interested in applying for a mini-grant, we strongly encourage you to attend the CHIP On-Site Training Workshop on Monday, May 9, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. at the Discovery 1 building in Room 140 located at 915 Greene St., Columbia, SC, 29208. To register for the On-Site Training, please visit: http://www.amiando.com/CHIP_Training.html. If you are unable to attend the face-to-face training, please opt to attend the CHIP Webinar Training on Tuesday, May 10, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. To register for the Webinar Training, please e-mail Tomi Rogers, rogerstb@mailbox.sc.edu, with your name, e-mail address, and phone number. There is no registration cost for either training and the deadline to register is May 2, 2011.  

If you are interested in applying for a mini-grant, you are required to submit a letter of intent by Monday, May 16, 2011.
