Grant Overview
Why New Hampshire is a Unique Fit for Cancer Control Interventions
New Hampshire's distinct geography and demographics make it an ideal location for cancer control interventions. The state's rural landscape, with a high percentage of residents living in rural areas, presents unique challenges for accessing cancer screening and treatment services. According to the New Hampshire Rural Health and Primary Care Plan, 39% of the state's population lives in rural areas, compared to 20% nationally. This disparity highlights the need for innovative solutions to address the cancer control continuum in these underserved communities.
The New Hampshire State Cancer Registry, housed within the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Public Health Services, is a valuable resource for understanding the state's cancer burden. The registry provides critical data on cancer incidence, prevalence, and mortality, which can inform the development of targeted interventions. For instance, the registry's data show that New Hampshire has a higher incidence of lung cancer compared to the national average, with a disproportionate impact on rural communities. This information can be used to develop targeted interventions, such as increasing access to lung cancer screening in rural areas.
Leveraging Regional Strengths and Partnerships
New Hampshire is part of the New England region, which is home to a high concentration of healthcare and research institutions. The state's proximity to major cancer centers, such as the Norris Cotton Cancer Center at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, provides opportunities for collaboration and knowledge-sharing. These partnerships can facilitate the development of evidence-based interventions and ensure that they are tailored to the unique needs of New Hampshire's population. For example, a partnership between a local non-profit and the Norris Cotton Cancer Center could leverage funding from the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation to support a cancer screening program in underserved communities.
New Hampshire's small business community is also a vital component of the state's economy, with many small businesses and self-employed individuals contributing to the state's economic growth. The New Hampshire Business Finance Authority offers various grant programs to support small businesses, including those working in the healthcare and cancer control sectors. These resources can be leveraged to support the development and implementation of cancer control interventions, such as providing funding for small businesses to develop innovative cancer screening technologies.
Addressing the Unique Needs of New Hampshire's Population
New Hampshire's population is aging, with a higher percentage of residents over the age of 65 compared to the national average. This demographic trend has significant implications for cancer control, as older adults are more likely to be diagnosed with cancer. To address this need, interventions can be designed to focus on cancer screening and prevention among older adults, such as increasing access to cancer screening services in senior living communities. The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services offers various grant programs to support healthy aging initiatives, including those focused on cancer prevention and control.
Applicants seeking funding for cancer control interventions in New Hampshire should be aware of the state's unique characteristics and how they impact cancer control efforts. By leveraging the state's strengths, including its rural-urban mix, regional partnerships, and aging population, applicants can develop targeted interventions that address the unique needs of New Hampshire's population.
