About This Grant
PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT More than 80% of breast cancer survivors and nearly all family caregivers experience unmet supportive care needs during cancer treatment and throughout survivorship. These unmet supportive care needs are key factors that contribute to poor quality of life for cancer survivors and their caregivers. Emotional, informational, and relational needs are among the most reported unmet needs by cancer survivors and their caregivers, and result from gaps in cancer care services. Interventions to support the unmet needs of cancer survivors have provided no evidence of an underlying mechanism for reducing unmet needs for the survivors, and many caregiver interventions have yielded small effects. Given the known interdependence between cancer survivors and family caregivers’ well-being and the promising effects of mindful resilience-based interventions in other populations such as transplant patients, a systems-level resilience-based approach may be key in addressing these
This is a federal grant announcement. Review these terms and key sections before you start drafting.
A NOFO is the official document a federal agency publishes to announce available grant funding. It is the rulebook for the grant — every requirement, restriction, and evaluation criterion lives in it. Other names for the same thing: FOA, RFA, PA, NOFA, SGA. (RFP usually means a contract, not a grant.)
Eligibility
Who can and cannot apply — confirm your organization type is explicitly listed. Many NOFOs restrict to 501(c)(3)s, specific entity types, or geographic areas.
Deadline
Note the full application deadline AND any required Letter of Intent (LOI) date, which is often 30–60 days earlier.
Funding Amount
Min/max award and total program funding — this sets your budget ceiling. Some NOFOs list an expected number of awards.
Required Attachments
Every form, biosketch, budget narrative, and letter of support — missing even one can trigger automatic rejection. Make a checklist.
Review Criteria
How the application is scored (e.g., 40% significance, 30% approach, 20% investigator, 10% environment). Weight your narrative toward the highest-scoring criteria.
Page Limits
Strict page or character limits per section — exceeding them can disqualify your application. Note the font size, margin, and formatting rules too.
Pro tip: Read the NOFO three times before writing. Most rejected applications fail because the applicant didn't follow the instructions — not because the project was bad.
