Breast Cancer Community Education Grants for ONS Chapters

Purpose: To increase breast cancer awareness in communities by supporting nurse-directed and community-focused educational programs.

Grant: Up to $1,000 is available to qualified ONS Chapters across the United States to plan and implement patient/community-focused breast cancer education/awareness programs.

Eligibility:

• The program must be an ONS Chapter activity and focus on community education.
• The grant is not intended to support work-based community education programs. The program cannot limit attendance to an institution, hospital, hospital network, or nurse work setting.
• Individual programs and/or Chapters can only receive one grant.

Application Due Date: Open applications are accepted but must be received by the Oncology Nursing Foundation no later than two weeks prior to the program start date. Applications will remain open until funds are expended.

 Points to Consider:

• Do not wait until the last day to start an application as a quality and competitive application will take time to complete.
• We suggest that you use your time wisely by getting a head start and collecting any additional required items such as the name and email address of someone writing your letter of recommendation before you begin.
• Your essay responses should be of good quality, in terms of grammar, punctuation, syntax, conciseness, and ability to answer the question. Ensure you submit a detailed response and use the word count to your advantage. 
• To strengthen your application, use free online tools such as Grammarly and have someone read over your application to ensure accurate spelling, punctuation, and grammar.
