Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (Nccdphp)Funding availableSep 14, 2026
Check: CDC forecasts a cancer control () in which federally recognized tribes, tribal organizations, Alaska Native organizations, and urban Indian organizations are named as eligible applicants for Program 1 (NBCCEDP) only, and eligibility for that program is set by statute.
What it does
The forecast covers three CDC programs: Program 1, the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP), which funds screening and diagnostic services for women with low incomes who lack adequate insurance; Program 2, the National Comprehensive Cancer Control Program (NCCCP); and Program 3, the National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR). Tribal eligibility is stated for Program 1, and Program 3 eligibility is limited to state governments, territories, freely associated states, and bona fide agents (a person or organization acting for an eligible applicant under a documented arrangement). The estimated posting date is 2026-12-07 and the estimated application due date is 2027-02-05.
Why it matters for tribal funding
Tribes eligible. Tribes or Native organizations are among those who can apply or are covered, alongside others.
Who it covers: Tribal governments, Urban Indian organizations, Native nonprofits.
What to do next
- Watch for CDC--DP-27-0023 after the estimated posting date of 2026-12-07.
- Confirm statutory eligibility for NBCCEDP and, if acting for a state or territory, prepare bona fide agent documentation before the estimated application due date of 2027-02-05.
