The Health Department is offering a grant to support research interventions aimed at reducing overscreening for breast, cervical, and colorectal cancers among average-risk older adults. This grant focuses on understanding and addressing the factors that drive overuse of cancer screenings in healthcare settings, with the goal of improving the health, independence, and quality of life of older adults. Projects should propose interventions at multiple levels and measure outcomes accordingly, while considering interactions between these levels. Applications for this grant should contribute to the knowledge base on the consequences of overscreening and help enhance healthcare delivery systems for older adults.

| Description: | The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to promote research on interventions, based in healthcare settings, designed to reduce overscreening for breast, cervical, or colorectal cancers among average-risk older adults. While ongoing efforts to promote screening have been successful, there is growing concern that these tests may be overused, thereby subjecting adults to unnecessary risks. Overscreening older adults may be driven by factors at the individual, healthcare team, healthcare system and community organization levels. Therefore, research is needed both to understand the factors that drive overuse and to develop and test interventions that will reduce overuse in healthcare delivery systems. Research supported by this FOA should propose to intervene at two or more levels, and should measure outcomes at two or more levels, while accounting for interactions that occur between levels. Research supported by this FOA should enhance knowledge and consequences of overscreening to improve the health, independence, and quality of life of older adults. adults. |
