Cancer Prevention & Control Research Network

This initiative offers mini-grants up to $4K for nutrition programs that effectively work in rural Southwest Georgia. Aimed at churches and work sites, such as the Body & Soul program and Treatwell 5-A-Day, the project evaluates intervention fidelity and generates insights for future program dissemination. Leading health experts, including Kara Jacobson and Karen Mumford, engage in extensive assessments to promote effective cancer prevention and maintain health standards in the community. Lessons learned will guide ongoing and future health interventions.
